96 Camry -- 10W-30 or 10W-40 Oil for summer months

Warm weather here in West Texas is about 2 months away -- I run Chevron

10W-30 in my 96 Camry right now but it is getting harder to find -- is 10W-40 ok for a 4 cylinder 5S-FE used for mainly city driving.

"I am saddened that Vietnam has yet again been inserted into the campaign." "We do not need to divide America over who served and how." John Kerry, Feb 27, 1992

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force ? if necessary ? to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security."--Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002.

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction. "[W]ithout question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. And now he has continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ... Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003.

Depends on how hot it gets. In Australia, especially inland, temps get to

40c or 105f (in the shade). I use 20-50 as recomended by the Toyota oil-grade vs temp table in the driver's handbook: 5SFE motor.

In winter where temps drop to 7c or 44f the handboof recomends 10-40. Ithink in either case, especially once the engine has worn a bit, either oil would still be ok as there is substantial over-lap in the recomended oil-grades.
