I used Castrol Edge 5W40 and two things happened, my temp gauge ran hotter and when I had to have the Vario Cam actuator changed the tech showed me that the non Mobile 1 was causing some heavy varnishing inside the vario cam cover and on the actuator itself.

Also, check Rielly Auto Parts (or something close to that, but not arock Auto that I know of), just like Advanced Auto parts, they do internet "special" sales.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

OK , no debate. It's Mobil One 0W/40 for our water cooled babies.
The question is where in the world can you buy it? I haven't seen a store yet including Walmart that sells anything but Mobil One 10W30, 10W40, or 5W30. Will Walmart, AutoZone, or any retailer selling Mobil One order 0W40?
Walmart and Advanced Auto parts. You should watch for a sale, this stuff can got for about $4.99/quart, if your timing is good. Also, check Rielly Auto Parts (or something close to that, but not arock Auto that I know of), just like Advanced Auto parts, they do internet "special" sales. Special pricing, order on-line, but pick-up at local store. Someone usually announces the "deal" in RL, keep your eyes open. Not sure about special internet pricing and shipping. I usually grab a case when I see the sale. GL
This thread was going so well, and then you soiled the path.
You live at 8000 ft above sea level in the mountains where the winter temps often go below 0 deg. OP lives at Sea Level in Florida on the Gulf of Mexico.
0W40 it is, for him.
Guys, this is not "what to use" it is where to get..........
hmmmm, then again, yes, an oil thread.....
D'oh!
maybe a pms, ims, rms thread is in the works?
Should have said where i live; Clearwater Floriida area. I visit all the auto parts stores to include. NAPA and Autozone. I check Walmart ( there are four within 10 miles) regularly. I have never seen 0W40 Mobil One. I did go online (Walmart.com) and see that another location allegedly has some in stock for $6.49 quart. Heading over to tonight. Will buy enough for two changes if stock allows. 'Nuff on this, but thanks for the input

He advised me to not use anything but Mobile 1 0W40. He further said every engine he opens using something other than Mobile 1 has some signs of sluge or varnishing and he never sees it with strictly Mobile 1 cars.
I believe him because the first thing I noticed once I put Mobile 1 0W40 was the temp. I was also told to keep the oil level to the top line all the time on the dip stick. It really does make a difference for splashing on the stupid IMS bearing.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
