I've heard of Mobil 5w-30 running on the thinner side so I don't know if this proves it or not but I'm going to stick with Penzoil Ultra 5w-30 for now.
That's interesting. I never had such issues. I used the 10w-30 so maybe that's why i never noticed the drop off that you did. I always held close to 40 hot with the Mobil1. It did hold over 60 cold though so I imagine on the 5w-30 I may have had the same issues as you.
