Default Anyone tried that new MOBIL1 OIL? 0w-40??

Just wondering if anyone has tried this oil. it says made for european cars but since i was at walmart and really in low on oil, i decide to try it out. just wondering what the pros and cons are with this oil.

i tried the 0w 20 that is made for honda specific and some fords.

to tell you the truth i thought it was a little too thin for summer time. i switched back to 5w 30.

yeah i noticed that it was really thin as well when pouring it in. it looked like regular 5w-30 oil...i'm used to using 10w-40 or 15w-50 oil. oh well, i guess i'll be the guinea pig.

i think that's too thin for the heat and stress of a turbocharged car.

I use and recommend Mobil1 15w50
