Which oil for a spotless engine?

What isn't impressive is them quoting a 12 year old ACEA spec, mind you.


What is a NONwatery 30 grade Garak? Chevron Delo 400? Pennzoil High Mileage?

Those, GC, Delvac Elite 222 0w-30, any 10w-30 HDEO.

In all seriousness, do note that the average 10w-30 has the same HTHS ( +/- 0.1) as a 5w-30. So, worrying that 5w-30 is too thin and going for an ILSAC 10w-30 isn't going to remedy the issue, which is assuming it needs remedying in the first place. In your location, I'd have no qualms with using either 5w-30 or 10w-30 (with ILSAC certification) in your vehicle. But, if you think a 5w-30 is too thin, a 10w-30 with ILSAC rating isn't exactly the cure.
