i run 0W-40 in my S2000

i got the last 5 qts at Zone, but I'm pretty sure I've gotten that weight at Wal-Mart before, and yes, it's usually cheaper at Wal-Mart than any parts store.

That's what Ford specifies for all their new gasoline truck engines...especially the Triton engines.

That's also what an increasing number of Hondas are requiring from the factory.

Good point, I guess I'm out of the loop when it comes to the newest cars/engines coming out, I have some reading up to do...

5w20 is usually recommended because that's what was used during EPA tests, and the manufacturer has to recommend what was used in those tests. It doesn't automatically mean that it is the best stuff for your car, but of course every car is different.

A perfect example would be the Rx-8. Mazda recommends 5w20 because the EPA makes them, since the gas mileage tests were done with 5w20. That is a lot lighter than what other rotaries run... there is a significant amount of skepticism about that weight of oil. I personally use 20w50 in my car, as that is what was recommended back in the day (that or 10w30, which I have used before).

Didnt know about the Triton engines, but any Ford zetec engine also will require 5w20. Apparantly it gives more accurate oil pressure readings? The zetec regulates fuel pressure based on oil pressure. Same reason the Hondas require that 5w20, since vetec works off- you guessed it oil pressure.

also, if you have to ask about the best prices on Mobil 1, then you cant afford it. just go get some dino oil, you cheap jew bastard.

^^my VTEC honda specs 10W-40

so i run 0W-40 Mobil 1, with a Mobil 1 filter

i think they recommend oil changes every 7500 miles, too, and i don't remember seeing specifying full synth anywhere.

I usually change it around 5k miles, although I've let it go to 6k a time or two. I figure that even in that high revving engine, with engine oil also feeding a supercharger, that Mobil 1 can handle 5-6k miles.

my 2004 TSX requires 5W-30

Just got some at the super wal-mart at Brier Creek. I guess they just started carrying it, b/c they haven't in the past.
