What is also interesting is "0W20" is not listed on the sidebar of that link. Got to wonder if Mobil just tweeked it slightly (if at all) and re-labeled it "5W20" to put an end to the subject.

The "0W20" was what Mobil 1 previously recommended using in all Ford's & Hondas that require 5W20, so who's to say this is not what they actually did !!

 

The 5W-20 meets a whole new set standards that the 0W-20 doesn't. I would call that a little more than a "tweak".

 

Amsoil all the way!!!!! I read some info that compared all the name brand synthetics, and Amsoil was the best.

 

me too. Just mix it with the 5-20

 

It's close. But Mobil1 beats any synthetic hands down.

 

I emailed Mobil tonight, asking when the 5W20 will hit the shelfs. They wrote back and told me that it should be available this month at the local Wal-Mart and Autozone stores.

 

me too. Just mix it with the 5-20

You should NEVER mix oils of different viscosities, Never!

 

Any chance you could email them back and ask the o-20w question, I have a feeling they are going to say it will be fine, if you cant could you send me the email address.....Thanks, Dave

 

You bet. I'll post the response.

 

I emailed Mobil, and asked them if I could use OW20 in my new 2005 Mustang GT. I gave them the Spec # from the owners manual, and explained that it was important to me that the oil meet the Spec. Here is their response:

"Mobil1 0W20 motor oil can be used however you will want to check with
your local dealer on how they feel about that viscosity. Mobil1 5W20 is
the best product for your application."

 

Great, I guess I wikll have to call pep boys in about a month and see if they have the new stuff, and then see if they will take the old stuff back.

 

Just picked up 12 Qts. of Mobil 1 5W-20 at O'Reillys on the 4th and had it change yesterday the 8th. O'Reillys had to order it for me from an Oklahoma store because they didn't have it in stock yet. My 05 Roush had 1127.2 miles on it at the time of the change. Used 6 Qts. with Mobil 1 filter and is still a little low on the dipstick. I'll top off with another .25 to .30. Hope I didn't jump the gun and go with Mobil 1 too early!

Oh Yeah, it's $5.49/Qt. so $72 and change for 12 Quarts. Filters are $10.99/Ea.

 

notice it says 2005 and not 2006

Yeah, I've been buying Mobil 1 5W-20 at Walmart for about 6 months now...

The only thing I haven't seen yet at Walmart though is the 5 quart container of Mobil 1 5W-20. I've only seen individual quart bottles. $5.30 each or so. The Walmart I go to has all the other Mobil 1 viscosities in the 5 quart container, except for 5W-20. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]

 

Yeah I need the 5 quart jug, those are like $10 cheaper overall
