5w-20 is being recommended more and more (ford, honda, etc) for gas mileage concerns.... its a good safe oil to use, just make sure (which I don't beleive so for a 95) that it was deemed safe to use in your model year engine...10w-30 is ok in the winter.... but if you want the best cold flow protection, go with a 5w-30....

5w-20 will serve you nicely year round. If you really want a feeling for what's happening in your crankcase, pour a cup of each different viscosity rating oil in separate containers and leave them out in the cold. Try pouring them when they get below freezing and see which you would rather have in there!Also... dirty oil would be much more of a problem than clean oil. Dirty oil, known as sludge, can be thick and gooey at room temperatures... an engine flush just before an oil filter and oil change just before winter cold should keep you running smooth.Don't forget the battery come winter... those maintenance free batteries can let you down when they dry out!Good luck!
