My '01 manual says 0W-30 or 0W-40 are OK - IF they meet ACEA A3/B3 (tough European standard).
0W-30 Mobil 1 doesn't meet this spec, so you might want to stay away. I use Castrol Syntec 0W-30 from Germany that DOES meet A3/B3, year around, with 10k km (6200 miles) oil change.
0W-40 Mobil 1 DOES meet A3/B3. So you'd be fine with it.
Check your manual for more info.... yours might read differently from mine.
