Not sure what the potential downsides, if any, could be to run oil with 5 instead of a 0....just always made more sense from a brand standpoint to buy 'european formula' not 'SUV formula.' Whatever.

I switched from the 5/30 to the 0/40 this spring but finding it here in southeastern New England has been tough. My car was fine with the 5/30 & I'm sure the 5/40 would work just as well if the 0/40 becomes unavailable unless you normally drive where its -40*F.
I think I gonna switch back from 0w40 to 5w30. I can get ether one at local Autozone with no problems. Oil sensor seems to like the heavier one. After I started putting 0w40 after longer drives, I keep getting oil level message. Even thou the level is fine.
