I agree here, I've seen too many problems with various cars and various adatives... many cars have VERY small passages that I've seen clogged up pretty badly on a tear-down. > I've wondered about the Mobil 1 0W30 for cold weather. Any opinions out there? Works wonders in my old Ford Probe GT engine---which had hydraulic lash adjusters that needed oil quickly to avoid clacking... Right now I run my Aero on 5W30 in the winter, mostly because 0W30 has a few more things added to it to get the balance right, and I am worried that they might be a disadvantage on a turbo... buit that's probably niehter here nor there, it's a great oil.
