I did not know that Mobil 1 EP is available in 0W-40. From what I know the lowest viscosity they have for Winter is 5W-30. I guess 0W-40 would be good if you are in really cold climate area up north. We run 15W-50 here is CA.

Yea 5W-40 is kinda light, I use 10W-40 in the winter and 20W-50 in summer. Make sure you go with synthetic oil, they're the best.
we were talkling about the 0W-40..

mobil one, purolator pure one, k and n, are the best filters in that order(the kandn and the pure1 are more or less a tie but the pure1 is half the price) also OEM may fall somewhere in there i dont know enough about them yet.

I think it really all depends on the mods/driver. I use 5/10 30 all most all year round. With some 40w in the summer. But if you need more then 30, your driving habits need to calm down. 30 is fine for me and i doubt many people have the foot i do[:@].

Of course dude, its oil. 10 is for ur starts unless you live in the artic. And like i said about 30, its good unless you live on the track.
