Switched to 0W-30 M1 and have erased my start up turbo whine and dropped a median 25 F oil temp in
ambiant temp ranging from 70-80 degrees F year round based on this oil tech article.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng9.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng9.shtml</a</li></ul>

STFA!

Several places to locate 0W40. I believe Porsche and MB dealers carry it, Autozone stores started carrying it, and it's also available from Mobil distributors, if you have one locally.<ul><li><a href="http://www.prod.exxonmobil.com/channelpartners/mn_distributor_directory.jsp">Mobil Distributors</a></li></ul>

I switched from this and say the median 25 degree drop. Temps don't get above 90 F here, though.
