Please state your car(c36 or c43), where you live and what grade and brand oil you use for your car.

-Mobil 1 0W40

Ive used 0w40 for as long as I can remember. Ive been told its better to use 5w30 so I might try that. I want to see what everyone else is running.

My understanding is that at least for Mobil 1 Synthetics, they have several different formulas they use depending on supply / conditions in an area. The european version is probably a different formula but performs the same.
