I don't see why it wouldn't. You can get it 0w-30.

Yeah, or 5W-30 synthetic in the summer and 0W-30 in the winter, if you live in the north...

Don't run that 10W-30 any more than you have too man... a little too thick @ startup... especially in the winter. Our motors were made with tighter tolerances that require the thinner winter grades.

BTW they sell the green/grey 5-qt jugs of 0W-30 Mobil1 synthetic at Wal-Mart for $22... woo-woo.

Mobil1 oil filter FTW.

Changed mine with 15k miles on it... stuff still looked nice and consistent.

How bad does your motor talk to you on first start up iowa? I know mine would prolly sound like it's gonna snap something with 0w-30.

I wouldn't get the fram filter been having problems with them lately. My dad put one on his truck and the oil wasn't returning so he put a wix filter on it and everything good. He's had a couple of vehicle in the shop lately cuz of fram filters doing the same thing.
