You only need an xW-50 under extreme heat conditions. Remember that the most wear is at start up so you should be looking for the lowest viscocity oil that meets ACEA A3/B3 specs. For winter, the best would be an xW-30 but that hard to find in the US so Mobil 1 0W-40 is a thin 40wt but meets the top specification for many european automakers. I personally use Castrol Syntec 0W-30(German made) that is A3/B3 certified but I have only found it at Autozone and you stil need to read the bottle to confirm the certification because there are two different 0W-30 Syntecs out there. Also - do not pay attention to the extreme pour points of synthetic oils as they list -49* etc because that means nothing as to what it is as 0*
