Let me get this straight:
Mobil 1 5W-30 is 10.0 cSt at 100C
GC 0W-30 is 12.1 cSt at 100C
Mobil 1 0W-40 is 14.3 cSt at 100C
That makes GC 0W-30 2.1 cSt thicker than M1 5W-30, & M1 0W-40 2.2 cSt thicker than GC 0W-30. And yet GC 0W-30 is "much thicker than Mobil 5w30 at operating temp - and almost a 0W40"??? Is this that "new math" I've been hearing about ever since I was a kid?
And so that you can update your data records, Mobil 1 5W-30 is currently listed at 11.3 cSt at 100C, making GC only 0.8 cSt thicker at 100C. And 100C, just so everyone remembers, is WAY below the "operating temp" of oil in a Saab turbo's bearings. (i.e., oils continue to thin out as temps go higher.)
