Gauge questions - 4.6is

My 02 4.6is hated the cold unless it was already up to running temp then it loved the cold air but I never ever let it sit outside on a cold night because the cold start the next morning would make the motor sound like it was coming apart.

Agreed. Normally mine stays in the garage. my most recent service included an oil change ( ccv stuff) and my indy put 5w40 amsoil in. I really don't like it for winter. Going back to 0w40 mobil 1 tonight. Thought I'd try to get away with it as long as possible but on a cold start it sounds like the engine is going to blow up (rattle for sec or 2)
