As for the oil, what car is it?
It is a 3.2L gas engine. There are quite a few recommended spec's for the climate I live in:

Below -13 to above +86 0w30 or 0w40
Above -13 to above +86 5w30 or 5w50
Above -4 to above +86 10w30, 10w40, 10w50, 10w60

Where I live it occasionally gets to -13, (like once a year). I'm thinking 5w30 is probably good. Someone recommended 0w40 but I am not sure what the side effect of running it would be if the outside temp hardly ever gets that low.
