I recently bought a 2020 ford edge with a 2.0 ecoboost. I’ve changed the oil with mobil1 5w30 a couple of times and switched to mobil1 0w30 for winter.

The owners manual shows this chart:
View attachment 138794
As shown, the 0w30 handles the cold better but I’m surprised that it handles the heat to 104 like the 5w30.

Can I assume from this that 0w30 is ok to use all year, driving from Boston to Houston?

Would 0w40 be a better choice in summer in Houston?

I shouldn’t have read the owners manual because then I wouldn’t be confused/concerned. Advise is appreciated!
They're both 30 weight? Why would there be a difference?

^^^ I like QSFS - it’s in signature now. But that one has no OEM approvals ? ^^^
