I was a die hard 5w30, I thought paying premium price for oil was a waste of money. I had a gallon of 0w40 for my passat so I used it in my 12v ev and you can definitely hear the difference. The 0w40 quiets the internal noise, and the extended mileage you can drive offsets the additional cost. So my opinion I would absolutely use the 0w.
