IMHO, providing you are using the same oil, the differenece between 0/40 & 5/40 is insignificant....and you will find some dealers use one & some the other.

Guys, AMG Private lounge answered this question: 5W40.
Lifters are prone to bleed down and 0w40 is too light at start up, making the condition worse.
Go hard if you want to use 0W40, but the suggested oil from the horses mouth is 5W40 and has been for years now.

I had to jam this down my dealers throat before they caved. EVEN after providing the post by AMG on the lounge.
