While OP is in GA, I've proved to myself in Canada - oil differences:
All oil is not created equal, on a small air compressor (used for air nailer).
- in sub zero Celsius, the electric motor always blew a 110v-15amp fuse / unit stored in cold garage
- once I brought compressor in the house sun room, for a few hours to warn up (74^F)...it would startup
- so I dumped all the compressor oil (cheap stuff, from manufacturer) & refilled with Amsoil synthetic pump oil (expensive stuff)
- both oils same grade, one worked-one didn't
^^ Now compressor starts up, in the cold garage.

Anytime excess heat or cold is present, oil will be effected - now all I use is Pennzoil Ultra and a WIX XP filter...both synthetic, and decently priced.
- its cheap insurance

PS - when its below freezing and with blowing winds, engine blocks & internal oil get real cold, with vehicles parked outside overnight.
With premium synthetic oil, my engine will turn over noticeably quicker / so less stress on starter & battery drain.
- my first 2 AGM batteries failed at 9 & 10 years old
- so I'm not running down my 12v battery and heating up my starter cooper winding's...don't have to crank, crank, crank (with the key on)

Next oil change - will also be using Amsoil Racing Grease, on all the grease fittings. Less washout / extended oil change frequency. https://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forum...&Number=211763

Would you use a no-name oil like Supertech?-pennultrawixxp-jpg
