I've used nothing but 5W-20 Amsoil.

Works great.

0W vs 5W will have a measurable (when driving in the hyper MPG style), but difficult to pick out of the "background noise" MPG difference. It will be _most_ noticable in colder weather.

However, as a fleet average the difference does add up.

If you can't find 0W, 5W is the next best choice

HTH!
