Should have said where i live; Clearwater Floriida area. I visit all the auto parts stores to include. NAPA and Autozone. I check Walmart ( there are four within 10 miles) regularly. I have never seen 0W40 Mobil One. I did go online (Walmart.com) and see that another location allegedly has some in stock for $6.49 quart. Heading over to tonight. Will buy enough for two changes if stock allows. 'Nuff on this, but thanks for the input

I used Castrol Edge 5W40 and two things happened, my temp gauge ran hotter and when I had to have the Vario Cam actuator changed the tech showed me that the non Mobile 1 was causing some heavy varnishing inside the vario cam cover and on the actuator itself.
He advised me to not use anything but Mobile 1 0W40. He further said every engine he opens using something other than Mobile 1 has some signs of sluge or varnishing and he never sees it with strictly Mobile 1 cars.
I believe him because the first thing I noticed once I put Mobile 1 0W40 was the temp. I was also told to keep the oil level to the top line all the time on the dip stick. It really does make a difference for splashing on the stupid IMS bearing.
