Default Anyone switch to 0w30 for winter?

I usually run mobil 1 5w30 in my 09 250. But I heard 0w is better for cold starts. Just curious if anyone else switches for winter then switches back when warmer. Any issues with switching back?

Nope and your engine wont notice a difference. You can run 0w-30 all year long

I switch from 0w30 and 5w30 all the time depends what Walmart have available. Some say 0w30 get better mpg but I didn't notice any change.
