[QUOTE="B33mEr, post: 513999, member: 13609"] Yup you're spot on the mobil 1. There's a lighter weight 40 range of oils like Mobil 1 0W-40 and a heavier weight of 30 oils such as Castrol Syntec 0W-30. For the winter rating I would say (imo) it's important since because that is the flow of the oil characteristic during cold weather. Since most engine wear occurs during cold start-up it's important that engine oil have the ability to flow during cold startup and when the engine about to warm up. So a 0W engine is thinner than 5W or 10W during cold and provides more instantaneous oil flow to critical engine parts. Again in my opinion 5W or 0W would be the best for us regardless of the weather. I'm no expert just sharing from what i understand about engine oils :4: [url]http://www.upmpg.com/tech_articles/motoroil_viscosity/[/url] [/QUOTE]
