-30F, easy starting.
Try the 5W30 and check your oil consumption...don't use the heavier synthetics unless your oil consumption goes up.
Some twenty five years ago we tried 0W-30 arctic synthetic oil in diesel air/oil cooled V12 1800 cubic inch tank engines at Fort Hood, TX in the summer...the engines did fine although oil consumption was a tad higher than the straight 30wt normally used. Since the engines were overhauled every 6000 miles or so during normal tank overhaul (well, technically the engines were pulled and checked on a dynamometer for hp output, oil leaks, and ring seal/blowby but you get the idea) it was difficult to tell how much wear the engines got if any over the dino oil, but the consensus was the arctic synthetic was equivalent to the standard dino oil. We never went to full synthetic but it's a moot point these days with turbine tank engines that DO use 5 gallons of synthetic in the system.
