I'm almost due for an oil change & was checking out the various weights. Anybody have any experience with this stuff? Its says BMW & Merc Benz use it as factory fill. I think it might just be the ticket for these sub zero temps we keep having here in Mich. Thanks for any input.

Use 0W30 instead, 40 is a little thick (edit).

Use 0W30 instead, 40 is a little thin.

Wait a sec...0w40 is thicker than 0w30...at operating temp anyway.

That's correct..40w is heavier that 30w at temperature..

You are correct, I typed what I wasn't thinking, heh, 40 isn't too thick, but there is no need to use it in our engines. I don't see why you couldn't use it, other than the manufacturer recommends a 30w.

0-30W is always the best weight of oil whether you're in Alaska or Florida.
