Not sure how hot your summers are there, but you may find yourself switching viscosity by the season. My father ran thinner oil in the winter, thicker in the summer.

Van is garage kept and it does crank slower in the -25 degrees range when it is outside over nite because i using the garage. Durango is outside year round fires right up.
I had 230 thousand on the van when a oil cooler line broke forcing me to rebuild it. Parts were clean and looked like new so they must be lubricated well. It is the same engine now with 270 thousand. Bearings rings and gaskets. Durango has almost 200 don't use oil and runs strong. But honestly thinner would be better for winter. But I having incredibly good luck with anything i use this oil in. So if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I've been using Brad Penn Grade 1 in 10W30 in my BBC, no complaints except I have to drive a little further to get it.
