There are two Mob 1 0w-40's. The Euro spec has about 10% more Zn and Phosphorous vs the other one. I've been running the Euro Spec for as long as I can remember in anything I run the hell out of. No issues.

I have read somewhere (on the internet, must be true) that 0W-40 was the factory fill in Europe, because they can drive their cars a lot harder over there. A caveat is, I've been told *not* to use 40W oil with axle oiling lifters like my Johnson link bar lifters.

Because the oil is too thick?

That's my understanding.
