Considering Mobil 1 0-30 in my 02 Q

[gtmuggs]

I just got a 2002 Q45 with about 83K im a fan of Mobil Oil being that my previous car is a 96 Nissan Maxima with 240k+ and still running strong. Im Wondering if i can run 0w-30 full sythetic Without any problems.

You could, but the Mobil One 0W-40 is by far their best oil, not because of the weight, but because it has a superior additive package{and base oil} compared to every other version of M1. The M1 {0w-40 } meets various manufacturers specs and standards the other versions of M1 cant touch.

I basically run M1 10W-30, but I didn't like 5W-30 in my car. The 0W-40 is Porsche specified fill.

[gtmuggs]

Is there that big of a difference in 0w-30 and 0w-40

Probably as Porsche doesn't specify the 0W-30. Check it out on the M1 site or http://www.bobistheoilguy.com

like qship said, the 0-40 is good stuff. also acea a3 rated. their 0-40 is actually a bit thin, more like a 0-35 which makes it an exceedingly good choice for warm climates, while not pumping like molasses when cold.

if you *really* want 0-30, try the GERMAN castrol. autozone once again carries this after a hiatus. i have it in both G50s at the moment, and i like it a lot.

like Brian said, BITOG has some educational reading.
