Default 10,000 mile service coming up. Which Mobil 1 oil should I use?
5w30 is recommended, 0w30 is more economical, 0w40 is recommended by Mercedes and Porsche. It seems to me that 0w40 would be the best. I thought I read somewhere that the 5w30 does not have specs as good as the others. Actually, I have never seen the 0w40 around here.

My local WalMart only has 5w30, been using it for 50k miles. No problems.

Default I use Mobil 1 - 0w40. I get it at Wal-Mart for $4.87/qt.
I never see it discounted or in the 5 quart containers that WM has.

Default Depends
Hard southeast summer here, I like a little viscosity for startup, but not too much. Meantime, high temps and humidity push me towards the 40 in summer, and 30 in winter.

Check your dealer?
