I too use Mobile1 0w40. Burns maybe 1/3 of a quart every 7000 miles. Not bad at all.
Pros: Not bad at all
Cons: Burns 1/3 of a quart

When I did my oil change about 800-900 miles ago I used Mobil 1 0w-40 and so far I'm loving it more than which was last in there which was 5w-40 used at a VW dealer them selves.
Pros: loving it
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 850 km
I have apr stg2 and i change my oil every 5k with mobil1 5w30 and it never burns a drop!
Pros: never burns a drop
Mileage: 5000 km
mobil 1 5-40 diesel truck blend has it, just referenced my blackstone labs report after 6k miles was still over 1000
Pros: high zinc levels, good after 6k miles
Mileage: 9656 km
I have ran mobil 1 0w-40 for a long time without issue but am thinking of switching to thicker this change as it's starting to leak out one of the oil seals into compressor housing.
Pros: no issues for long time
Cons: starting to leak
I know when I put my stroker block in with stock head/turbo I filled it with 0w-40 and I would get low oil pressure when deaccelerating down hills.. Low enough the light would flash on, got my freaked out! with the new head. and my 71r 72a/r set up going on I'm swapping to 10w-40 mobil 1, because when I took the old head off there was a TON of carbon build up for the small amount of miles I had driven the new block around(less then 2,000 miles). I had changed the old twice already(once ot get the break in oil out and once again at 500 where I dropped the pan to check for metal and such and up in a new pick up tube for piece of mind). I have good reason to believe the 0w-40 is just too thin for the clearances for stroker pistons and such. I'll report back once the car is up and running with the 10w-40 in it. If the oil pressure problems persist I'm thinking about stepping up to 10w-50, but Im in southern California so YMMV depending on how cold/hot it gets around you.
Cons: low oil pressure, carbon buildup, too thin
Mileage: 3219 km
Over 50k big turbo miles on Mobil 1 10w 30 full synthetic. I love the oil, try some 10w 30 :thumbup:
Pros: loved the oil
Mileage: 80467 km
I have been running Mobil 1 0w-40 since new with over 50k miles on different Big turbo(80k total miles) setups and always replacing seals and gaskets due to oil leaks(its some really thin oil).
Cons: oil leaks, too thin
Mileage: 80467 km
I'm not really too sure about the weights, but I highly recommend using specially formulated euro blend oil. I believe that is 0W-40. I personally only use mobil 1 euro blend. It is expensive but your engine is not the place to get cheap.
Pros: highly recommend euro blend
Cons: expensive
I switched it to Mobile 1 high mileage, and no more smoke, and it now, I kid you not, burns less than 1qt/3-4k miles!
Pros: no more smoke
Cons: burned oil previously
Vehicle:
Volvo
