Any suggestions?

 

wal mart and o'riley have it.

 

I'v e seen it at certain pep boys, definitely not all though.

 

Also some K-marts, Track Auto, Autozone ...

 

stock up at costco.....

 

just curious why would you want to run such a light weigt oil ? will it make the engine run faster, from less drag? thanks

 

I use 5W30, like the owner's manual recommends.

 

I saw 0W30 at those places, but never 0W40.

I know motul makes 0W40 too, you can probably order those through their distributors

 

 

I've heard of some people using this oil weight as a flushing oil. Drain the old oil, pour some of this in, run the engine for like 30 seconds - 1 minute, drain the 0W-30 completely, pour in some fresh 5W-30. Don't know about the validity of this though.

 

It's actually not for me. I run 5W30 standard oil. Not convinced yet to run a synthetic. I change my oil just about every month. My coworker is buying a new Porsche 911 and Porsche recommends 0W40.

 

One thing that is interesting to note about the Mobil1 0W30 oil is that it has a higher flash point than the 5W30, 2nd to the 10W30 for all the "normal" weight Mobil1 engine oil here in the USDM. Check out the product info sheet at http://www.Mobil1.com for more information...
