I would use the viscosity specified in the owners manual. 0w40 is MUCH heavier than 0w20. Using it, even once, can do serious damage to your engine if it's spec'd for 0w20.
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,
