I think the Hemis are specd for 5W30, so you at least got the 30 part right.

THe 0w only refers to pour at lower temperatures. Both 5w20 and 0w20 should have the same viscosity at operating temperatures. From what I have read on "Bob is the Oil Guy", the 0w is a superior oil due toa betteradditive package. I am running it with 10k mile oil change intervals...

Default RE: Zero Weight Oil
I changed my oil to Mobil 1 0W-20 weight, and noticed a .6-.8 mpg increase on average over the last few tanks of gas. I used the Mobil 1 filter, as well... Haven't quite decided on a drain interval yet. Any recommendations?
