    I know with my fathers 18 Forester. When I took it for one of his free oil changes. They used Idemitsu 0W-20... I have heard of Idemitsu oil before but personally never used it. His car is under warranty so whatever the dealer uses for his car. Personally I have used Castrol for 25 plus years...

    Castrol Edge PIck-Up

    Maybe Castrol is using Florida as a test market. On YouTube their is a mechanic (not Scotty Kilmer) who ran the Shell Rotella Truck & SUV oil in a Ford Edge with the 3.5. He ran it for 250 meter hours which I believe he stated was close to 8k-10k. Sent an oil sample to Blackstone labs...

    Engine cutout after driving through puddle

    Well that may have been the straw that broke the camel's back. Like I said let sit in your garage 2-3 days with some heat blowing on the motor. Don't dig it's grave yet. I have a 97 Gran Marquis with 254k miles on it. I can't kill it.

    Engine cutout after driving through puddle

    If you have the time and space in a garage. Leave it sit for a few days with some kind of heater blowing warm air on the motor. Maybe that might dry your motor out. The stater clicking sounds like it was not getting enough volts to click over or the starter solenoid might be fried,

    new ride in the stable

    With the cold Chicago winters the 5w-20 would make for easier starting (thinner oil). The 5w-30 starts easily too in the winter. The whole idea with the 5w-20 was all EPA driven to force automakers to squeeze out more mpg. All that being said if you are sitting on a stash of 5W-30. Go got it.
