Default Quick question about engine oil
I have booked my 2004 Z16 in for service and was told that the service center has MOBILE 1 0W30 oil on tap.
Can I use it in my car or should I go and buy 5W30?

I would only use what the owners manual reccomends but I'm sure there are many people that deviate from that.

0-30 is really ok--not much diff with the 5-30

0w30 would make for easier starts with faster oil pressure readings in cold weather.
I don't think I'd use it with summer temperatures...but then you're in the UK and I'm in AZ...
