Mobil1 10w-30 vs. 0w-30

posted by  someone claiming to be Rene on  Mon Jan 27 08:39 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Guys,

I am 500 miles away from my next oil change. While in Walmart, I saw Mobil1 0W-30 to my surprise. I have used Mobil1 10W-30 since first oil change (every 7.5K miles). I am in Florida weather. What should be the difference between these weights.

Some ideas as what is better for me to use?

Thanks,

    0w30 will allow oil to pump throughout the engine that much faster even in florida temps.remember most of the engine wear occurs during start-up when all the oil is down in the oil pan.if you are going to spend that kind of money on oil which i think is overkill unless you live in the desert or the artic then i would opt for the 0w30.last thinking is to use semi-synthetic which is the best of both worlds and a better value.

    The 0W would provide its maximum benefit in very cold weather, allowing for a low-viscosity pour point in sub-zero weather.
