Default Mobil One Synthetic Oil

What is the standard for Mobil One Synthetic oil for GS 400.
Should I stick to the same formula Or should I switch depending on the season? Which formula is the best to use? Holla

Bofa,
I think the general concensus is 5W-30. I use 5W-30 in my car myself. I suggest using the search button and looking up Mobil 1, as this has been discussed in detail prior.

10W30 is what most folks use I think, mabe 0w or 5w in the winter, depending on geogrpahic region.

I use 0w-30.
5w-30 is what is recommended, but 0w flows faster at startup and has the same flashpoint.
