Is not 5W-30 too thick for this engine? CCN advises against such because the electronic variable oil pump is calibrated to 0W-16. (View minute 6:26)
5W30 is NOT too thick for this engine. However this engine is designed to run efficiently and adequately protected on 0W16 and now clearly 0W8 under favorable circumstances.
In service since 2016, the Dynamic Force series engines also have an emissions compliant cooling system, that warms up quickly and at the same time provides optimum cooling in almost all load ranges.
Do you tow a boat ?
Do your driving conditions lead to concerns about excessive fuel dilution ?
If yes, then 5W30 might be a good idea.
If no, then 0W16 is fine.
