I think (but not positive) that the new Mobil 1 oil is 0W-30, not 0W-50. In
any case, there's not a BIG difference between the flow rate at zero degrees
(0W-30) and five degrees (5W-30), but still an improvement for those in cold
temps. Those of us with overhead cam engines need an oil that will reach
those sensitive parts as soon as possible, which the new MOBIL 1 will do in
freezing weather.
