cold climate avg outside temp around or under 60 degrees i would use a 5w 30

warmer climate avg outside temp over 60 degrees a 10w 40 would be good

but for the most part 5w30 is a year round oil its basically a standard in the industry for alot of older imports, 10w 30 for older domestics, and most German cars will require a 5w40 or 5w50 only avail in synthetics. alot of newer vehicles have a specific weight of oil that you must use. if you use another type you may void your warranty

whenever your unsure check the owners manual or call the dealer for a reccomendation
