Recently swapped out the “water” 0w20 for a Dexos1 Mobil 5w30. Surprised with how contaminated and thin the 0w20 already was at 1500 miles. Swirls of metallic, pungent fuel/exhaust smell etc. But 6000 more miles!?!? I knew its a bad viscosity for an already overworked, small displacement turbo engine. The car idles quieter, quieter when taking off from a stop and smoother driving. it’s not as surgy under small load. I hate the fact our manufacturers are following the CAFE standards so hard that they don’t give a damn about the consumer. Check your oil folks…
