5W40 is recommended for Mobil 1. If you can find Castrol 0W30 European formula then go with that.

Mobil1 would be my choice...but just is case you would be intrested in something better than Mobil1 ,,take a look at Amsoil..

http://www.amsoil.com/performancetests.aspx

i had the opportunity to tear sevral motors apart wich were running different synthetic oil brands...for me Amsoil is king of the hill in the oil category.

May be a little more expensive than Mobil1 but it is the best oil out there..imho

I put 10w-40 Amsoil in my car today. Used Amsoil for a long time in our cars.
