The "W" stands for Winter. 10W30 or 10W40 is kind of thick for our climate in the winter. 5W30 would be better. I scored 36 gallons of Chevron Delo400 SAE30 on closeout ($.99/gal) from AutoZone last year. I run that in my YJ's 2.5L all summer. I switch to Castrol GTX 5W30 in late October. 2.5L and 4.0L engines show pretty good UOA wear numbers from using thicker 30wt's or 40wt's in the summer. My current oil stash is up to 420-something quarts Here's a good site to get you up to speed on oil : theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi

Whatever I can find in the 15w-40 flavor... but that's for a 360. I run 10w-40 in the winter.
