If I was lucky enough to live in FLA, SoCAL or DownUnder, I'd be running Straight HD 30, absolutely NOT a winter oil. VI improvers are not lubricants and are the leading cause of varnish and sludge and shearing out of grade. Our engines do not take kindly to varnish and are not THAT easy on oil given they have: the dreaded flat tappet cam, hydraulic cam phasing, timing chain and guide and a hydraulic chain tensioner.

My 145 dollar 3.5HP briggs lawn mover is still alive after 19 years having only summer use, 30wt hdeo oil fill with OC every OTHER year. Burns no oil, doesnt knock. It has NO oil pump, just splash lube. OK thats my 300th post. WEEEeeee!

I run the Motul 300V 5W-30, and love it. This oil is designed for Le Mans....3-4K miles at full speed with no oil changes...I think it's more than enough for the street, and great for track days.

Anyone know how the 1NZ-FE would run with 5w40?
Would it be too thick for the little engine?
