Any 0w30 users here?

At my work for Alfa Romeo’s we have that special 0w30 we are using MOPAR 0w30 oil. Kinda annoying how many cars I see without a dipstick. Guess a dipstick costs too much eh?

I've used Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0W30 in a couple vehicles and it works like any other. Those dipsticks sure make or break cost on luxury vehicles.

Running Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0W30 in my 03 Civic now. Due to be changed next weekend after being in there over 9 months and ~4300 miles. Will get a used oil analysis done and post here.

That special one will be different from AFE people mentioned here.

Probably a very a small portion of users since 0w30 is a rare beast on the shelves, with a equally nice price premium over say a 5w30.

i run amsoil signature 0w30 by necessity in winter. i never plug my car and my car is always outside exposed to the elements, and temperatures drop often below -36 celcius without wind chill where i live. last year was record year for cold in my area as temperature dropped to -48 celcius without wind chill 3 times. i also use Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w30. i am also very much intrigued by hpl 0w30 premium plus series. it has very good specs for extreme cold.

yeah, planning to start using it. Not stocked locally in our walmart. I dont mind if I have to order it.

Mobil 1 ESP 0W30 here. IMO it's one of the best of XOM's offerings.

I put a ravenol 0w30 in my moms Acura tl

Mobil 1 0w30 same price as regular Mobil 1 5w30

I’ve got 0W30 in a couple of cars.

I’ve also got a couple of cars without dipsticks. More expensive to have a level sensor than dipstick.

Not sure which one you are objecting to, the viscosity in your title, or the lack of a dipstick in your post.

Used to use 0w30 in my Lexus years ago, no issues with it.

I’ll clarify. I don’t see why some vehicles don’t have a dipstick. Nothing bout te viscosity.

Also, there are a couple of 0W30s on my short list for future oils to try. Others have already mentioned them above.

Any ILSAC GF-6 & GM dexos1 Gen 3 approved SAE 0w30 will work.

• Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w30 SP GM dexos1 Gen 3 is the best choice for Alfa Romeo. It is better than Mopar 0W-30, even though it doesn't have the Stellantis specs.

Do not use a Euro ACEA C3 0w30 such as Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 or Pennzoil Euro LX 0W-30, as they have the incorrect viscosity (HTHS ≥ 3.5 cP).

I used to like Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy in the appropriate application, but it seems they turned into weak sauce...

Mobil 1 never makes a weak sauce.

Mobil 1 never makes a weak sauce.

Maybe not but both AFE applications have a higher pour point (-42) then I'd like in a 0W oil so they've taken most of the PAO out of them. There just seem like better options for the money...
