Living in Maine, I'd keep the thinner oil. 10W 30 is just fine. In the summer in California (or Austrailia) we switch to something thicker but I bet you're fine.
Welcome, sorry to hear about your loved one that died, but congrats on the FD! By the looks of that upper intake manifold, you live near the beach like me. Might wanna wipe that corrosion/salt off of there.
