It only recommends an oil grade.

I would still check out Walmart. 5 quarts for $25 is $5/qt vs $5.50/qt with the 6 pack case.
I'll say that my HEMI consumed the least amount of oil with M1 EP 0W20 compared to any other brand.
This makes no sense.
Yep.
subaru engines especially the newer 2015 and up tend to burn oil, do to the 0-20 or 5-20 oil.. many owner switched to a 5-30 or in turbo a 15-30 and saw going from 1 qt every 2K mile to .5 qt or normal oil burn in the same time frame. Valvoline has a new old oil that helps break down carbon build up on rings especially the oil ring, which help with oil burn. you run it for like two oil change doing the full miles of like 5-7K and after do to a 5-30 weight oil burn rates drop a LOT. the thin oil is for MPG more than engine protection .
interesting on the 2016 subaru forester you can have a non turbo and turbo engine. on the non its 0-20 on the turbo its 5-30.. switching to 5-30 non turbo and 10-30 turbo helps with burning oil especially a "diesel" oil.. better protection for engine

So it's Mobil-1 EP Triple Action 5w30? I didn't see it at our Costco.
You will really like it's job performance,
Before the 0w20 requirement they were using 5w20. I use 0w30 in my 2019 1500.

Another reason they can’t keep a set of lifters in them.

Why do you think a V8 can't handle running a 0w20 oil? If anything a V8 puts less stress on the oil than a 4 or 6 cylinder engine, as it will be at lower rpm on the highway and has enough torque that people don't need to give it much throttle to keep it moving with the flow of traffic. Plus V8s will have a higher capacity of oil too. If it was a high performance car with a V8 that is likely to be driven hard often, that's a different story.
I think 0W-20 is a joke when many 5W-30 oils pump as well at 0 degrees and protect the Engine better at operating temps. There are certain instances where certain car manufactures went from a thinner oil to a thicker oil for certain reasons.
I agree!
Only 0w20 thick enough for my satisfaction is the Redline 0w20. It's comparable to 5w30 in protection but with a noack of 5, but running M1 0w30 would be a okay solution. Then after a bit go with M1 EP 5w30
Your right! I take beta blockers for my ticker and hot weather is a awful thing. Ruins deer hunting, beer drinking, beer drinking in a tree waiting for deer and anyone with high BP or diabetersHot weather must be getting to people as some on here are more argumentative.

For protection sake and/or mpg benefits...
The hundreds of variables involved in your daily commute make deciding between an API 0W-20 and a API 5W-30 a moot endeavor.

For my typical daily driving (not lab controlled!), I find zero meaningful difference in MPG between 20, 30 or 40 grade. May be the way the Hemi is engineered.
