Question What kind of mobil 1 should I use?

I know...I know, do a search, but I did. All I came up with was winter oil grade info. Anyway, what kind of Mobil 1 do you guys use in your cars at this time of year?

Later,

10W30 works fine for me.. I just follow the owners manual. Even in my turbo RS that works fine - 6000 miles since the turbo and counting.

I use 5W-30 year-round in both of my cars. The crowd seems to love this.

Question

Isn't the 5W-30 for colder weather? What is the advantage of the 5W-30 vs. the 10W-30?

Subaru Specifies 5W-30 for all conditions. If you have a Turbo or a highly strung N/A motor (read 7000 plus RPM) then go with 15w-50.

I run 5w-30 in my scoob, I change every 5K miles and I use no significant oil between changes. Car now has 53K on it.
