Recently acquired a '03 C4S from South Carolina. The owner there was running Mobil 1 0W-40.
Now that it is in Pennsylvania with more significant cold weather, should I be changing the choice of oil. And it is necessary enough to do another oil change. Last one was 1000 miles ago.

Congrats on the new acquisition. I live in the great Northeast and using 0w40; dealer recommended and that works for me. With that said I won't drive the car much in the cold weather once it snows and they salt the roads. However, the car and the 0w40 felt great this morning at 30 degrees!

I saw this today and figured there would be an active oil thread to post it in.
For me, I may switch oil at some point, but so far I've used Mobil 1 0W-40 and change the oil 2x a year. There may be better choices, but I figure factory fill and recommendation can't be a bad choice. Plus it's readily available, and not terribly expensive. I've read high ZDDP content may harm the cats, I don't know what the optimum level is.
