I run redline stock specified weight and never have problems in the winter. If anything it might feel a tad stiff on a really cold day for the first couple shifts. I know tons of people will run different oils putting little bits of other things in their transmissions but I just rather play it safe. Chances have it if it's making the noise I think it is the damage is done and it'll eventually go. You never know though till you crack open the transmission or diff.
