Info as per STICKY
1. 2010 Ford Focus SE Sedan, Auto Trans. 190,000 Miles.
2. 5w-20 is Owners Manual Suggestion
3. Minnesota (Very Cold Winters, Fairly warm Summers)
4. I drive Conservatively, not heavy on gas nor brake.
5. I Deliver Pizza 35 to 40 Hours a week. 'Weekend' Highway Miles as well.
6. No known Car Problems
I bought this Focus from my Nephew a couple days ago.
Most of that Mileage is Freeway Mileage (a 120 Mile Daily Commute for Work) This Focus does not feel worn out in any way, still a very solid car.
Nephew said most recent oil change was about 3,500 Miles ago. When I picked up the Focus it was 1 Quart low on Oil.
I have had success with High Mileage Oils in the past on a 98' LeSabre, an 03' Galant & a 98' Accord. I've used many Different Brands of High Mileage Oil, my Best Results came from Valvoline's HM
Being the Focus is 1 Quart Low on Oil, it as well has a lot of Miles, 190k, I plan to use a High Mileage Oil.
What High Mileage Oil would you all Suggest ?
I'm Personally Considering:
1. SUPER TECH High Mileage, Full Synthetic
2. VALVOLINE High Mileage, Full Synthetic
3. MOBILE 1 High Mileage, Full Synthetic
4. VALVOLINE High Mileage, Semi-Synthetic.
I have been using "Semi"-Synthetic Oil in All my Cars over the last 2 years, I no longer use Conventional. I have not yet used a "Full" Synthetic but am considering doing so on this 2010 Focus.
In Short:
Pizza Delivery, Very Cold Weather, 190k Miles on Car.
Use Full or Semi-Synthetic ?
Use 5W-20 as per Owners Manual ? or 0W-20 ?
Thanks in Advance
