I take exception to that remark!  It's 30�C (you do the math) here today
and the A/C where I work has been broken for the last month!  The temps
here since April have been mid 20's to 30's...Canada is not as far away
as you might think :^)

In Gander, Newfoundland, I'm on the same latitude as Montana, N. Dak,
Idaho, etc...

BTW I use castrol 5w-50 synthetic in my Golf,  10W-30 regular in my
Westy.
