M1 0w30 is 10.3. Why not just use that?

Makes sense. Our local Wally doesn't have it either, but the closest Autozone does. Who knows, you may get a little better additive package this way in addition to the higher viscosity vs. running M1 5w30...
When I use the chart you referenced and a blended oil calculator for 60% 0w20 and 40% 0w40 I come up with these values:
100C 10.4
40C 55.1
0C 393.7
VI 181
However, I'm not sure what effect the VIIs or PPDs would have, if any.
Reasonably close to the 0w30 on the same chart.

I mixed 3 qts M1 0w-20 and 2 qts M1 0w-40 ran for 3500 miles in 02 Accord I4 sent sample in and asked for vis @ 100c and Blackstone reported 10.799,
pretty close to the vis of 10.72 which was calculated using the chart in this post

427z07 After careful recalculation I arrive @ the same #s you get, also the Shell calculator agrees with us
pruizgarcia Thanks for the info, I have it book marked
I think this verifys that the charts & calculators are fairly close. No?
