Stick with the stock recommendation.

For what it's worth, Redline's MT90 is a stock weight, but much easier in cold weather. On my old car, I never noticed any stiffness in winter. I forgot how big of a difference it made until I got my 4Runner with 5spd and drove it this winter.

Ditto. I'm in Idaho Falls, ID, with about the same climate as Bozeman. I definately noticed a difference in ease and smoothness in the colder weather.
