you could also try mixing it up at your next oil change; some w40 and some w30 .personally i would just recommend that you only mix weights of the same brand to avoid any possible clash of the additive packs in different brands of oils. good luck.

i prefer 10w40 here in washington's climate. actually, since you're probably not going to deal much in the freezing temps down there, you might want to give 15w40 heavy duty oil a try. i like the stuff, but it's a little viscous at temps in the 20s and 30s here. not a bad summer oil up here either.

yup, i'm running _w40 myself here. actually, in winter (snowing now, in fact) a mix of 5w30 and 10w40. in summer a mix of 10w30 and 10w40. i've found that the rig likes the w40...

never noticed any difference in mileage when it comes to oil myself -- a slightly heavier oil will make an R series engine quieter since it's got a mechanical valvetrain.
one oil i would not recommend in these engines is any 5w30 or similar. just too thin, you think your engine is noisy now, try that stuff!
