Default Winter Oil (0w30 or 5w30?)

Hi Gang: I am situated in northern Canada, where winter temperature can dip to -30 degress celcius (-22 degree Fahrenheit).

A friend recommended I run 0w30 Mobil 1 Synthetic for the winter, and maybe switch to 5w30 or 10w30 for the summer.

Currently run 5w30 Mobil 1 Synthetic all year round in a 2004 Caravan 3.3L.

Curious what your thoughts/advice are?

Cheers.

The 5w30 would be fine. 5w20 would be even better.
