Default what to do

Is there a certain viscosity oil i should change to when storing my stang this winter? I have a 97 cobra and use 5w30 mobil 1 synthetic now, but since i live in Maine where it is really cold, is there a better viscosity for this. Also, i do plan on starting it occasionally as well as taking it for a drive on a nice winter day. Thanks in advance.

5w-30 is about as thin as it gets. Stick with a synthetic and you'll be okay.

Any oil should be ok.
The trick in the spring is
to remove dist wire so that
you can turn it over for a long
time without starting. This will
pump oil up where you need it
before it gets HOT.
