15 w50 in a heavier weight oil. it is mostly use for excessive duty and long term high heat use, like road racing where oil temps are sustained above 240 for long periods of time, 20 plus minutes.
Give your car a few minutes to warm up and get the oil temp over 80 before you drive anywhere. This is not really a cold weather oil, but you are in Cal i 4 nigh eee ahhh - so you should be ok.
the mobil 1 web site does a good job explaining the differences.
I use 15-w50 and have for several changes now. My car spends more time on the track then on the street.

I use AMSOIL Series 2000 20w50 in my car, which sees almost exclusive track use in the hot MidWest summers.
