At what temperature (or range of temps) do you guys go from winter weight to standard, or vice versa? By winter weight, I am fully considering motor oil diluted with diesel, transmission oil diluted with kerosene, as well as b/c oil, so I don't want to get into that discussion.
 
bc oil

I would think above 45 degrees. It really depends on where the saw is stored. If in the cold, 45. If you bring them in where it is warmer, 30 weight will work year round. Once the saw warms up 30 is fine. Just tough to pour out of the jug.
