PP Euro LX is all I’ve ever used.Good Afternoon folks. What oil are you folks using in 0w30 for say a Jeep Renegade with the fiat designed engine? Or if you own a Alfa Romeo what 0w30 do you use? At work we are using MOPAR 0w30.
Where do you get it? I've only seen it sold in single quarts, and almost never on the shelf. Amazon?

As far as I know it’s ExxonMobil as still the current manufacturer that’s what they said at work. Based on the bottles I’d say that’s a safe assumption. Looks just like a Mobil bottle but black. However the 0W-20 bottles are different and look like Pennzoil bottles so I’m not sure but last I heard it was ExxonMobil.

0w30 Triax SRT in a few of my Vehicles
Advance Auto. They keep it behind the counter. Unfortunately it's only available in single quarts which is a costly bummer. It's also excluded from their sales in most instances, you can however get rebates on it every so often so that is typically when I buy a case or two.
Interesting brand I am not familiar with. Have you ever taken a sampe of this brand? They're very transparent.
I've generally moved away from larger spread oils, not that they can't be great, but I prefer the less VII approach for GDI engines and fuel dilution/Noack figures.

No unfortunately I haven’t gotten around to do a sample yet. I’ll reach to blackstone and have them send me a test kit
Convert to 0w-30 here too, but mostly to get into VW 504/507, mb229.52 and ACEA c2/c3 oil.
Canadian Tire store sells PP Euro LX and MotoMaster Euro 0w-30 oils that are often on sale and both are actually made in Germany. There is also QS Euro LX that carries same approvals as PP Euro LX and MotoMaster but QS is made in USA.
The three oils mentioned above are supposedly same as Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 oil.

The Alfa Giulia calls for an SN Plus or SP rated 0w30 oil.
DO not use pp euro LX. It is not either of those specs and more importantly is not lspi mitigating.
You can use Mopar max pro plus 0w30 and Mobil 1 0w30 AFE.
Amsoil 0w30 also claims to meet specs although you know how that goes. No api certification but probably fine.

I gave 0w30 some thought, just prior to moving to 0w40. The 10w30 that's currently in our Hyundai will be it's last run of it. I'm moving it's 2.4 GDI to 0w40 SP next.
I use it wintertime in my Volt
I think 0w-30 would be a great oil for our fj. It's never in stock at the places I go locally.
0W-30 is the only car/truck engine oil I use.
