(Not sure if this is the right place for this post. If not, please move it to the right section)
For a long time 504.00/507.00 (gasoline/diesel) oils were only available in the 5w30 viscosity.
However, recently I found that Shell, Mobil... are selling a 0W30 oil with the 507.00 spec.
Shell:

Mobil:

Where I live (Portugal) I don't have temperatures lower than -5ºC.
So my questions are:
- Knowing that I live in Portugal, will I benefit from using those 0w30 oils?
- Or these 0w30 oils more susceptible to break anything inside the engine?
- So, should I stick with the "Castrol Edge Titanium FST 5W-30 Long Life" for better engine/turbo durability?
My engine is the 1.9 TDI 77kW with DPF (code: BLS)
Thank you so much for your opinions
