ugh, so great it's synthetic but I have to buy and send along 0w-40 anyway
AND I know they stock 0w-40 because they service p-cars and that's the mandatory oil
grrr

I know your point is not about the type of oil per se, but FWIW I've used M1 5W-30 for
quite some time in my 2.7T with no issues at all. Granted, 0W-40 might be a smidgen wider range, but the 5W-30 range is plenty wide, especially for here in New England.

Good to hear! I have M1 5w30 Truck and SUV in both 2.8s right now...
the 12v guys like the Truck and SUV stuff for some reason. At least it is easier to find, for me at least.
