Considering the -30 Temps - You can look at a 0 weight oil. I run a 5W40 all year around in NJ. I also don't go over 3000 rpm until the oil is over 180F.

For instance run 5w30 in winter and 0w30 in summer?

Also for the B58 engine should I bother with the 40 viscosity or just stick with the 30s?

Please keep in mind that I drive the car hard; I don't track it but I do drive it like it is meant to be driven.
