Winter-only engine oils haven't been used by drivers for a long time now. The oil already in your engine is an all-season oil, so there's no particular need to switch the type or brand for winter. If severe frosts are expected in winter, buy engine oil from the same manufacturer, with the same approvals and quality standards, but with a lower low-temperature viscosity value — for example, change 10W-40 to 5W-40, or 5W-30 to 0W-30, and so on. Remember that changing the oil's type and manufacturer is harmful to the engine. Read more about what oil to run in winter.</content>
