I think you mean 0w-30...

That is fine is the 0w is only the "winter" rating. The 30 is the weight. On teh 06 hardtop, you can run 30 or 40 according to the book. We run 5w here in Germany and in the USA.

My point is that you can check the book to get a better understanding of what is acceptable.
