I’ve been doing a lot of research since my 2020 Edge 2.0 TGDI hit 70,000+ miles. From everything I’ve seen it appears that thinner oil on startup is better for the turbo. So, for winter I’m using 0w30 which seems good so far, but for summer I’ve used 5w30.
I’m strongly considering Mobil 1 SP 0w40 in summer. My thought is that the zero gets to the turbo faster and the forty gives better protection at 70,000 miles.
I guess I’m a bit confused about forty messing with the VVT.
I may be overthinking this whole issue but overall the 0w40 SP makes good sense to me. Advice?
