Its a little skimp in the sheer rating. Mobil one is good, but I would point you to the 0-40 Euro Formula.

Yeah, 0-40w Its called Euro formula on the bottle, its a mobil one product.

Let me ask you this... If your 10-40 wasn't doing the job, how would you know?

I have been using the Rotella Syn. Switch from Mobil 1 5w30. The engine definitely runs smoother and saved money!
Let me correct myself.
High Mileage M1 10-40 IS acea a3 rated....

My mistake... I would use this in a rover.
Its tough to keep it all straight sometimes.

its cool i was just messing around
Chris turned my Rover on to the OW40 Mobil1 and it runs like a top. Even at 6000 miles on the current 0W40 oil change, it still runs quieter and smoother than what I was running with the Mobil1 Hi-Mi 10W40, hell I even ran 20W50 in it for a while. 0W40 for me is great down here in S. Texas because it really doesn't get that cold and it works really well in the heat here. Pours in like water, but works great.

ill try it i guess it cant hurt it...but i live in va...so winter months it gets kinda cold....
Also, dont forget ACEA requires 7-10,000 miles between oil changes. 3,000 mile oil changes on a 7 qt system is a waste.
By getting a UOA or tearing down the engine.Chris-St Louis said:
I just got a UOA of Mobil 0w40 that was in a porsche. Have a look.

It has been the only oil in the 3.6L. It held up very well for 7400 miles. Didn't shear a whole lot and kept wear to a minimum.

Yep. Most people dont do that though. Most people think if the engine runs, nothing bad is happening. Without looking/testing, the cam can grind away and the driver woudl never know it.
About. Less then Royal purple.
I was at the zone today, and looked at the RP bottle. The only spec it shows is SM.
Here in STL, the m1 was 6.99 a quart and RP was 8.99
