After over a year of thinking about changing our Jeep GC I finally part exchanged her for a Euro 6 compliant Petrol mild hybrid vehicle. 

Whilst reading the handbook I was stunned to find the engine oil is 0W/20 Castrol Edge - that must pour like water out of the countainer!

I can use that in my Jazz,


Modern close tolerance motors,


For a few years, I used Mobil one 0-40 in the 500,

It really did like it,

Most hybrids use that mate and a lot of new cars.
Mannol oil on ebay from carousel car parts is about the cheapest but it aint cheap

FiL just bought new Toyota hybrid that's specifically 0W16 Oil as only choice.

If there's a 20 viscosity gap / tolerance when running at full temperature, then only a 20 viscosity oil will be needed to fill it, anything else going higher will simply reduce flow rate.

Tolerancing, metallurgy and manufacturing repeatability will all facilitate this if completed correctly.

The zero W is not stating a viscosity of any type either, only the 20 is true reference of that measurement. It's thicker at that 0W status than it is at 20 too  :)

I looked at a used Toyota  RAV4 2.5 petrol Hybrid Auto it came a close second - I decided on the XC40 as it was not CCTV but dual clutch auto. I only cover around 3k miles s year so economy does not really enter my equation. Anything was going to be better than my thirsty Jeep 3.0 CRD.
