Mobil 1 0w40 Users?

ukmastermind · 02-02-2013, 09:19 PM

I was a little skeptical about the "Extra Anti-Wear Protection," so I looked on the MB1 website and found that 0w-40 does in fact have just a little more Zinc/Phos additive, which is a common additive for reduced wear.

Also, it's spec'd for BMW & Mercedes (Normally calls for 5w-30; 0w-40 is rec. when using MB1) and GT-R etc...

As for "better flow," I think it's b/c it's a 0w weight oil.

p.s. He did say that his Oil Temps always ran high during the summer and that's why he changed over for a more "stable" oil at high temp

P.p.s I doubt he's on any forums... older guy
