. . . to someone who has a car that specs this weight oil.
If you search this BB you'll find lots of opinions. There's some consensus that the 2.3's should really have a 5w- or 0w- lower temp viscosity and a -40 high temp viscosity. I have used (summer only) a Mobil 'high mileage' 10w-40 in our '99 during Summer, when the 10w-doesn't mean much in the summer heat.
Right now 4 of 5 of our vehicles have either Mobil 1 'Euro' 0w-40 or their 'Turbodiesel' 5w-40 oil in them. But where we live it will be below zero for the high tomorrow. If I lived in Florida or Arizona I might use a 10w-40 oil. Our engines run hot, so the -40 viscosity is a good idea for the upper rating of a multi-viscosity oil.
