actually, im using the 0w-20 because of its added benefits. if i were to use mobil 1, which is very good oil i agree, i would also use their 0w-20. according to the mobil1 website:

"In addition to providing benefits for hybrid engines, Mobil 1 0W-20 is ideal for use in newer cars, trucks and SUVs manufactured by Honda, Toyota, Ford, Mercury and Chrysler, where a 5W-20 motor oil is recommended. Mobil 1 0W-20 not only meets the requirements of manufacturers recommending 5W-20, but it also provides superior low-temperature protection and the exceptional performance of a fully synthetic motor oil."

i misspoke, and saw that amsoil does indeed have a 5w-20, but their 0w-20 has much better test results and longer drain intervals. just trying to pamper my wifes car, since its a commuter car and the type of oil it gets is probably the only "modification" its ever going to see!! i am in NO way trying to peddle brands, i apologize if it sounded that way...

Ok, I was under the impression that AMSoil did not come in a 5w-20. Also, for those looking to drop to the 5w-20 weight but don't use synthetic, Mobil makes a conventional 5w-20 oil called Clean 5000. I'm sure there are other brands as well.
