According to that engineer's blog, there are certain higher zinc oils that increase wear on the motor, so just getting a high zinc oil isn't going to cut it.

Yeh I had used that oil as well, but if u ever try the royal purple 20w50 full synthetic you will be shocked at your engine response , it was like night n day, I recommended a friend try it as well and even he was shocked at the engine response of the royal purple :-)

Low of 35-40? That's cute

You're in a warm/hot climate, so you could stick with 10W-30 instead of going to 5W-30.

I hate the cold weather too. Winter down here in SoCal means maybe low to mid 50s. But not for long.
