Hi, folks.
Have been using Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 for years in my gasoline Honda Accord and have no issues so far.
However, since it is C2/C3 ACEA and I see it is mostly recommended for diesel engines is it a better idea to switch to A3, A4 ACEA oil which is recommended for gasoline engines?
And regarding the viscosity isn't it better to drive with 5w40? Here ambient temperatures are in the -5C (20F) in the winter to +38C (100F). I've always had concern with 5w30 oil being used in the very hot summers.
