The biggest detriment to using M-1 0W-40 is that the viscosity when hot (rated as 40) is actually at the very low end of the range for 40 weight oils (there isn't one value but a rather large range). It's much more like other M-1 xW-30 weight oils than the other M-1 5W-40 weight oils. All of the M-1 oils have additives that will dissolve most sludge and will result in seals that have already swollen to shrink toward their original size. This CAN result in increase oil leaks. In addition, ALL of the Mobil 1 oils have additives that will inhibit leaking at soft seals, BUT it takes time for them to work so it is usual when changing from conventional to Mobil synthetics, for oil leaks (that already exist) to first increase and then decrease over about 5-10kmi. If you remove the M-1 and replace it with some other oil before the additive works, you will of course NOT benefit from the seal swelling effect and the leaks may actually get worse.
