Euro-quality oils are a hit w/consumers. Just look at the GC craze! Thw one M1 produt I would use 0w-30 (other than the Hi-Mi oils) does not bring confidence when the 5w-30 is lame and there is no decent spec on it. One thing Lubrizol's oil spec tool taught us is that SPECS ARE EVERYTHING.
I don't know why the M1 0W-30 doesn't have A5, but the M1 5W-30 (regular and EP) has A1/B1, A5/B5.
Looking at the Mobil 1 website, they are marketing 0W-30 with a green cap as an Advanced Fuel Economy product, and that may have something to do with it.
