[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 623136, member: 4527"] 0w-40 is a multigrade lub with base stock SAE40 too. The 0w is achieved through using additive, yes, it's not important in the tropics but it's much more expensive to produce a 0w-40 than a 5w-40 due to the extra additives. So to answer your question, Yes, we don't need 0w lub here but no harm using. Yes, SAE50 can protect your engine much better than SAE40 or SAE30 but SAE60 will outperform your SAE60 in protection. You only pay a price on engine efficiency loss and fuel consumption when thicker oil are used. Not to mention the slow heat transfer with thicker oil medium, so engine will run hot. BMW SC provides 5w-30. [/QUOTE]
