Hi Aerophile! (nice handle btw!).
I use the M1 0W-40 on my current 9000 2.3I -92 (150.000 miles), I used it on my former car 900 T16 -85 (also 150,000 miles). No problems what so ever.
About ambient temperature, I shall say this only once: IT'S A LOAD OF RUBBISH!!!!!!!
Look at it this way: Your engine oil is at running temp., in contact with metalparts, inside the engine, which are several hundred degrees Celcius, do you really think it matters whether it's 10 or 30 degrees outside!?
No senor, get the best oil you can get - a fully synth - with as little resistance to the engine as possible - 0/5W - 30/40. This will make your car happy in the cold season (AND the warm!) and it'll give you a slightly better mileage.
Cheers!
