Hmmmmmm....I don't think so.
5w30 is like water, and even when it needs to flow in the cold, synth 
15w-50 for me....Everyone, including mechanics and dealers, have told me 
that 5w-30 would be terrible for my car, taking into account it's age and 
me driving more than 5 minutes a day...

Doesn't this depend where you live and how cold it gets?  Where I live (Winnipeg, Manitoba) it's often -30C for weeks at a time in the winter and anything you can do to make your car easier to start helps.  Boosting a car at that temp _really_ sucks.
