It's what I'm going with because it's $25-26 for 5 quarts (which is real cheap) and the 0W should help a bit more with cold starts. I tend to have some shorter and more aggressive drives, so I like the oil to be thinner when it's cold.

I wonder if the LL-01 spec changed & Mobile 1 doesn't meet the cleaner spec for some reason. Our gas in the US apparently has a high sulphur content. I read that back in 2014 the EPA changed the regs to bring down the sulphur content starting in 2017... hmm?
