My daughter has a B230 in her 1991 740 (1993 Type L engine) and lives in Northern MN. I have been putting Mobil 1 0W-40 in her car for the last 4 years but the price of 5W-30 in 5 quart containers is much cheaper. My number 1 priority is helping her get the old car started on those very cold Winter mornings, so which would be better for starting (thinner), 0W-40 or 5W-30?

Thanks
