Does anyone here change oil specifically for winter? If so what do you go for?

what's the lowest temperature you will experience this winter?

Changing oil for winter went out with the dynamo! Modern 5w-30 synthetic oil such as Quantum iii (504/507) has a cold pour point of -32deg C iirc.  Diesel will freeze (wax) well before that (-27C is the lowest winter formulation diesel I've seen available, in eastern europe)

You will be wanting the Oil Spec your engine requires in the UK.

Even if it goes to -20 and the Clyde Freezes again you will be fine with 5w 30 Full Synthetic.

Bertie probably around minus 5 and that's being generous. Just leave alone then xman? Ok cheers Awaoffski

 Yes then don't bother with anything else than what's on the owners manual or oil cap

Hope you have given similar consideration to what you put in the windscreen washer tank. -5C,  ah,  I always knew that "West is best" as long as you are near the sea/Clyde, inland Ayrshire got down to about -15C about 40 years ago, pity I had added Slick "something" into my engine oil (Duckhams 20W-50?), -15C highlighted that small error! Life is for learning, maybe.
