I've gone to M1 0w20, as the lube qualities of syns are so far superior to any dino. Super thin syn viscosities are all the rage around here, even in the summer. I agree.

Now I am all confused!
However, I'd never go with 0W20. Way too thin I think.
I went to Mobil's website and here is the quote for my car:
"10W-30 Good for temperatures from -4° F to 50° F
You can use Mobil 1® with SuperSyn™ 10W-30 with confidence".
But apparently that this viscosity is not approved by MB:
USA: Approved Engine Oils for the Latest MB Engines
More confusion!
Aside from 0W40, what synthetics are everyone using??
