I almost forgot about this thread.
When I first posted this there was no 5w-20.
I have since found it at a number of places.
I did speak to a Mobil Engieer that I know and he said that the 0w-20 is perfectly fine if anyone still can't find it.

Mobil 1 does make 5w20. I have it in my car!

I suggest not listening to the guy saying 5w30 is the same. Let him buy an 05/06 and put the wrong oil in it...
yes, i have mobil1 5W-20 as well, they were temporarily low on it here in michigan though since their oil production was in Lousiana....never compromise

Actually Mobil1 is made in Texas not Louisiana.

O.K., so unless I want to pay $25 a liter for Mobil 1 5W-20 (off base), my choices are Mobil 1 5W-30, 0W-20, or Motorcraft 5W-20.
What say you?

Under those circumstances I think I'd stick with the Motorcraft for a while longer...

Agreed. There's nothing wrong with the Motorcraft synthetic blend.

This thread is old. When it was started, there wasn't a Mobil1 5W20 yet. They've since come out with it although it is hard to find (at least where I live). Only Advance Auto Parts carries it here.

I didn't realize that!


Well for the guy that brought this thread back from the dead...go back and find out if they have 5w20 where they changed the oil. If they don't then you know they put something else in. Chances are, they put in 5w20 but rang it up as 10w30 as it's more popular. They probably hit the same button everytime.
