Mobil 1 is commonly available in 5W-30 and 0W-30 weights too.  Recently
they also added 0W-40 which is the factory recommended oil on new
Porsche and Mercedes cars.  While the 0W-40 weight is not currently
easily found in chain auto parts stores or mass merchandising outlets,
rumor has it that you can get them at Porsche and Mercedes dealers.
