Default Oil weights?

What is a good chart for motor oil....like what the difference between 10w30...5w30...etc...i live in texas where during the summers it gets over 100 and then high 20's to 30's in the winters....This is for the Z and my dodge 5.9l with 95,000 miles...i have always ran 10w30 without any problems...i had a 93 ford probe gt with 180,000 miles on it and that what i ran. Hardly ever used oil, but my oil pressure would drop at idle...I also have loads in my truck and pull a jetski during the summer...

Absolutely. Just take a drink or something to mellow yourself out before going on there. They (in general, and for the most part) abjectly BASH on GM/domestic products and our rides worse than ANY ricer/import site I've EVER seen or heard of before. Of course, this only applies if you DO NOT agree with them (since it seems soooo many on here, OUR OWN site, do ).
