I use a synth blend, seems to work better both on cold Sierra
mornings as well as crossing Death Valley. Or just puttering
around town in the %#!!@# Sillycon Valley commutes.

Yes, I would recommend it. Synthetic flows much easier at lower
temperature than dino juice does.

I run pure synthetic all the time in the ZJ. Of course it doesn't
get that terribly cold in Oklahoma but up in Colorado I did have it
at -15C and it ran fine once I froze my butt off getting the door
unstuck. Seems the lube I put on the door locks turned to concrete.
