Hey Joe,
When all else fails, read the instructions!

For others that may not understand;

Thats the little book that should be in the glove box.

Attached is the relevant page.

You may notice that 15w40 is good down to +23F
10w is good for -4F

Given that every car had an owners book when new, I often wonder where they have all gone.
