Mobile 1 makes a 0w-40 full syn, It flows like a 0 weight, but protects like a 40, what do you guys think, bad or good idea? (also, i'm running mobile 1 5w-30 full syn.)

(also, i'm running mobile 1 5w-30 full syn.) Let me know. I think 5w30 year-round is the best bet. Synthetic oil just takes longer to break down, but at higher mileage we should be changing the oil every 3-4k miles anyway. When you say "flows like a 0 weight" I'm not sure what your saying. 0 is the viscosity of the oil at startup (cold). The oil becomes a 40 weight when its normal operating temp. -------------------- '92 Grey Mitsubishi 3000GT SL - Sold
