[s-cars] Time to change oil. Unsure of which to use

I'd stick with Mobil 1, ask some of the Colorado listers what weight to use
during the winter. I use 15w 50 all year long, even with lows in the teens.
Mobil 1 is known as some of the most slippery stuff, motorcycle guys cant
use it with a wet clutch because the clutch will slip. Thats enough evidence
for me.
