At first I was planning to but after some further thinking I may stay with the 10W-30 and watch my idle pressure. I wish Joe Gibbs made a 10W-40 HR oil.

Most of our cars are kept in garages and don't see sub-freezing temperatures (some of you Northerners may be an exception). My garage doesn't typically see anything below about 55 deg in the winter. So, I'm not sure the concern about using a 0 or 5 winter weight oil in these cars is as great as for a daily driver that may be parked outside overnight.
