Is it okay to use Mobil 1 10W-30 during the summer? i had a jug lying around, and couldn't find 0W-40 at Canuck Tire/Wal-Mart, but the temperature is going up, and I just noticed my owners mag says 10W-30 is only good up to 15degC. It gets up to 30 here during the summer.

Basically what I'm looking for is for someone to tell me everything is okay, so I can just go back to being oblivious. I guess you already figured that one out :)

manual at the chart you'll see that special oil in 10w30 are suitable for much higher temps. I ran 5w30 mobil for quite a while in my m30 and i work on many many cars that work just fine on 5w30 synthetic.
