Mobil 1 0W-30?

Well the maintenance required light is now flashing when i start my truck. I am at 44,700~ miles now anyways. So i stopped by wal-mart on the way home from school and i saw the Mobil 1 was 24.50, and i saw this 0W-30! I remember reading in the manual the V6 requires 5W-30, so what is this talking about when it says "Warranty protection for 5W-30 & 10W-30 Requirements"?

Can i even use it? And does it really increase fuel economy?

Sorry about the rotated photo. I hate my iPhone..

 

No, just stick with 5w-30...

 

Yes it's fine, it's still a 30w. I've been using it since my first change @2500 miles, I'm at 35,000 miles with no issues. It really won't help fuel economy much, but it should flow a bit better at cold-start. If nothing else there's no downside to using it.

 

i run amsoil 0-30 signature series and change ONCE A YEAR....google it

 

engine is even rated for 5w-20 as per TS-B

 

I use Mobil 1 full syn 5W-30

 

Yeah i mean houston hardly ever gets below freezing, if we do its never gone below 24~F.

I guess the 5W30 is just fine.

Yeah i usually do, i searched here too, but i got too lazy

 

i dumped some 0-20 amsoil into my dads corolla for him today.....

 

A cold start is any start when the motor isnt at full operating temp. So your truck could be parked for 6 hrs at the mall when its 100* outside. You start it up...thats a cold start.

I use Amsoil 0w-30 and their filter EA034

 

I use the mobil 1 0w-30. After doing some research on it. Its actually thicker at operating temp then castrol 10-30. It also lubricates rthe top end of the engine quicker then 5 and 10-30s on cold starts

 

I run 5w20 in the winter.

 

Search is your friend !

at the mall

 

x2 or 20,000 miles.

 

Will, Do you get that oil in Tucson?

 

We can absolutly use 0w30 in our trucks and not worry. Not only not worry, but worry less. BTW I don't use Mobil 1. it's not as good as everyone thinks. (I use group 4 synthetics)

 

What kind of filter do you use that will let you go 20 k? I would love to change my oil once a year since I only travel about 10k, but I thought the filters needed to be changed in the 7500 mile range.

 

I use Mobil 1 0w-30. No problems here. In fact I have an oil change due myself
