too light

I inadvertently used 5w30 recently on my 300D. Ended up draining out it after 2 days. Noticed blowby. If 5w30 does this, can't imagine what 0w will do.

kragen has a sale, $3.99/quart for any mobil 1 synthetic. Too bad they dont carry the new 5w40 turbo diesel. But i may get the 0w40 just because its on sale

I don't know if it's "OK" or not, the Mobil site seems to recommend 5W40 for 60X as well:
