Hey guys.
Trying to make sense of these 2 oils specs
5w40 https://www.mobil.com/English-US/Passenger-Vehicle-Lube/pds/GLXXMobil-1-Formula-M-5W40
0w40 https://www.mobil.com/English-US/Passenger-Vehicle-Lube/pds/GLXXMobil-1-FS-0W40
I'm not a specialist, but specs are looking different, Total Base Number for example 8 vs 12.6
Should I prefer one oil over another or good ol' "buy whatever is on sale and don't stress out" applies?
P.S. 0w40 is on sale in Costco right now
