It works for both. I use it in all of my vehicles.

It’s been a minute, this is the only mobile 1 oil that’s actually a true synthetic right? Also stock GTR fill as well. If so, that’s what we used for a total of 6 years and shitloads of track days (plus 34 row oil cooler). That oil if it’s the one we used runs “thin” for a 40 weight so it’s fine,a very good oil choice that is available everywhere like Wally World.

My 2 Hemi's spec a 0w-20 oil. I switched to the 0w-40 in both. The Hemi tick in the truck quieted down.

We both know that 0w-20 is emission oil. It does nothing for longevity of the engine.

It’s not a “true” synthetic (group IV AND V oils) however it’s a mix of GTL and PAO, and can be labelled as a synthetic as per rules and regulation in the US and Canada (refer to M1 vs Castrol battle regarding the term “synthetic”. Still it’s a phenomenal oil and I run it in my euro car and many others run it in numerous other situations with stellar results. The Z does very well with this oil also! Many use it with great results. The oil has a HTHS of 3.6 and a TBN greater than 10 so it can be used for long intervals.
