I won't go into gory detail as to why I use it, but I'm running Motul 8100 5w40 and have been year-round since around the second or third oil change. I've been trouble-free since then, the odo reads 144666 and no problems starting or driving, even long distances. With about 60% highway driving I'm getting 550+km before the gas light even comes on, and she's nice and smooth throughout the rev range, so I'm happy. I'm not saying go out and spend $60 for an oil change (Motul is pricy) though, LOL. You don't have to worry about the manufacturer's rating as much as you have to worry about how your car is driven and where it is stored, especially in the winter. Those factors should be taken into consideration when choosing your oil grade.
