Depends on where you live and weather temperatures with how thick an oil you use. I live in Tennessee where it doesn't get that cold in the winter for very long, so I can get by with a 20-50 if I want to. I run 10w-30 year round in my Grand Caravan and have almost 200,000 miles on it and it still runs like a top. I may use 1/2 quart between 6,000 mile oil changes on the Castrol Hi-Mileage that I run in it.

PS: I live in the desert southwest. My Saturns, I dump in 5-30 or 10-30 and have used 10-40 when they didn't have the others on the shelf.
