I recently discoverd 0-w30 by mobil 1 fully synthetic.
Is it more advantageous to use this over the 5-w30 fully synthetic?
are there any draw backs?
im sticking with motorcraft filters
Thank you for your time
 






The 0-W30 is thinner. It will save a little on mileage, but the engine will sound louder, and you might have to add oil a little more frequently. Thicker oil muffles the sound of the internal parts more.
