    Oil advice needed

    Hi guys, and I know this has been debated to death, about which oil to use in your S2
    My question is a little different...
    I am in Romania now, with temperatures regularly 35 and higher. I will be driving back to the UK in October, and then back to Romania in November...
    Temperatures in the winter here regularly reach -35, which brings me to my problem.
    Which oil should I be using for these stupidly low temperatures? bearing in mind it isn't -35 all day every day.
    I have got semi synth 10W40 in it now, with no obvious oil problems, and will need to buy the oil in the uk (along with a filter and anything else I need) as there is not much available here, and do the oil change on my return, as it will be due a service at that point.
    If I put in 'winter oil' presumably come warmer weather in Feb/March I would need to change again to thicker stuff... probably Silkolene Pro S as discussed in a different thread...
    Any advice from oil experts or people living in or near Greenland would be most helpful...!
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Maybe this or similar would see you right?

    This is an American product, but I'm sure there will be something similar available in the northern parts of europe.
    Nothing feels fast for long...

          Thanks, yes.... I pm'd Guy , and got a very helpful reply very quickly.
          I will also need to spend some money for a decent all year round solution, but it is well worth it I think...1
          Thanks for your help.
