Price of 5W30 Vs 10W30 - using it in Calif?

Why worry about the small difference in price per quart while the real issue is what oil will make OPs engine (a $4000 item)last the longest. Most of todays engines use 5W30 for year round application. We have posters who have used Walmart 5W30 and gotten 0ver 300,000 miles out of their engines without significant oil consumption.

I don’t see a $15 oil change at Walmart:
