Wayer does not have the lubricating properties of oil, even 0 weight oil. As long as it provides the correct oil wedge on the bearing surface and the film strength is strong enough to protect the metals it will work fine. But how will you know? Mercedes already knows - follow their recommendations.

All the cars in your sig have OM617 engines. If you want to use oil that much thinner than MBZ recommended, water is even thinner and much cheaper, although water's pourability at low temperatures is not as good as Mobil One 0W30.
