Just bought a '95 celica ST. Needs an oil change, is 5w/30 ok? Reason is I also have a 2002 camry that uses that, it would be nice to stock one oil for both cars..

lol, no... "w" dosnt mean winter. you are correct about the rest of the into tho

5w30 is the recomended weight for any celica. if you live in a hot climate, you might try 10w30. either one will work really.
