Too thin for my tastes

The Trioinic 7 models run a fairly high oil temperature to reduce sludge. I'd recommend (and I use) a sturdy, full synthetic 5W40 or 10W40. Mobil 1 0W40 is only 3% more viscous (in the bearings, where it counts the most) than Castrol 0W30, so while it is a great oil, it too lacks the viscosity we'd like to see.
Many people use 5W40 diesel oil, and Castrol makes a 5W40 "Euro car" oil that meets all the ACEA specs. Mobil 1 10W40 "high mileage" oil looks like a good choice, and people in hot climates (Florida) have had good luck with Mobil 1 15W50.
