I go here:

Now, the only oil I could find locally was 0W40 (too hot in Texas for that) and 5W40.
So I went with 5W40.
I won't use 0W40, it's just too thin - and MB now recommends 5W40, they APPROVE of 0W40 but they RECOMMEND 5W40.
NOW that I've run around half of Birmingham finding 0W40... NOW you say 5W40!!! Well guess what? It's getting 0W40 this time! For reelz though, thanks for the list. It really opens up the possibilities.
