They told me 5W-30 as well, but their lack or integrity, knowledge and professionalism when repairing my car makes me take anything they say as a joke. Plus I doubt the months and years that went into developing the b58 by very well educated engineers who recommend 0w-20 as the main oil to use isn't for nothing. I understand the arguement for the LL01 vs non certified oils, but different weights is another story. Yes, the manual says you can use 5w-30 depending on the operating environment (such as Canada, Northern Europe, Russia, etc), but here in Ktown where it gets to 15-20F I don't see why a thinner oil like 5w-30 would be necessary.
5W 30 is not thinner than 0W 20...
