I highly doubt anything will happen to your motor. I believe 15w 50 (it was red right?) Is used for high horsepower cars, turbo cars, etc... I've used it twice, once just cause, and once for a track day. I'm in SoCal just like you and I park in the garage sho I've never experienced freezing cold temperatures that might cause damage on start up.

When does price become an issue? 30k 20k...100k? Are we suppose to take different initiatives according to the price of the vehicle? And how is he a "pussy?" for asking a valid question? Do you have a valid response? Or just smart ass comments?

OK, this thread is getting stupid. Logical answers are given, logical rebuttals also offered, but noone is listening. Closing this before any more neurons are wasted.
