[QUOTE="2wenty6, post: 514100, member: 20205"] I'm inclined towards that preference too :top: But I believe 'W' is rated for sub-zero temperatures - don't quote me, not entirely sure. Personal experience: on the e36 that I was using Mobil 1 0W-40, the previous owner was using conventional oil with a weight of 15W-40 for 5 years. The engine is virtually sludge and varnish free when I replaced the headgasket and valvecover gasket, it also returned healthy and even compression numbers throughout the six cylinders. This was at a place where the temperature can go down to -20 degree C. So, personally, I'll feel less inclined towards a 15W and above oil, and will go for something between 0W to 10W (based on manufacturer recommendation of course). But more importantly to me is getting a reputable brand of oil with consistent quality, and changing the oil/filter at regular intervals. [/QUOTE]
