Using 0W40 instead of 0W20 oil on the 2013 2.5 OB

Hi friends,

Possibly a dumb question (as I for some reason cannot fully wrap my head around the oil viscosity thingy), but my 2013 2.5 Prem CVT manual recommends 0W20 synthetic oil. If I was to use Mobil 1's 0W40 oil instead, would it do any harm, either in short run and/or over time?

I currently have only a few hundred miles on my 2013 OB, but plan on doing first new car oil/filter change around 1000 mile mark.

thanks,
plex :cool:

since you do your own oil changes i would suggest that you mark the 0w20 or 0w40 bottles so you don't mix the two up...
