I always  ran Castrol, QT, 5W50 Full Syntec Motor Oil; it seemed to cover me
well in  the winter as well as the summer in my 1.9L WBX.

Any concerns with this  oil? Other's experiences?

What is the "oil brand and weight of choice  for all season application" in a
2.1L?

I've have used Mobil 1 5w50  until recently switching to Elf 5w50 in both my
'87 Westy and '90 Carat.   Both very good full synthetics.  In the Ottawa
Valley where this morning it  was -45C and the Carat started up just fine and
carried Rita off to work with no  problemo.  It does have a block heater which was
plugged overnight.
