0W30? Yes, that is a ZERO!!!!

Stopped by my local Quick Lube to pick up a quart of Mobile 1 5W30 and my guy there tells me Mobile is now shipping a 0W30 in place of the 5W30 - I'm like "geeze, that stuff must be as thin as Nextel Cup qualifying oil"..LOL. I've just never heard of this.

Anyone else heard of this and can/should we run this oil? Hoping to have some expert comments here, guys.

I've seen it before. Oil comes in all sorts of viscosities. I personally feel 0w30 is a little too light unless you live in an area that doesn't get warmer then 60*. I hear that Mobile1 oils are a little thinner then other brands as it is, so a M1 5w30 may already be close to another brands 0w30.

mobils oil is already thin for a 30wt.

that would be a little to thin for me.

Wow...that's some skinny oil.. :-D

I've been thinking of going to a 10w30 for Mobil 1 in my car since it's so hot here in Houston. Heat index got up to 110 this past week

id forget about the 10w part and focus more on the 30 part.

mobil is a very thin 30wt.

I run Mobile One full synthetic 0w30 in mine.

How come you guys are running such thin oil? I run 20w50 full synthetic race oil and at operating temp it has the consistency of 30w oil (or lower). I know my car isn't close to stock but I would only run that oil if it was the middle of winter in my truck.
