Thank God for Doug! You do more for Mobil 1 than anybody.
Can I ask you if you think 0w-40 can be safely used in a vehicle factory spec'd for 5w30? I have a 1996 Lincoln Town Car, which has the Ford 4.6 in it.
Art,
I just sold my 96 Merc GM in Aug. but always used Mobil 1 10w30 and 10-30EP with 10,000 mile OCIs. Mileage at the time I sold it was 218,000 miles. As Doug said I believe the Mobil 1 0w40 will work fine in the 4.6.

Tig,
I was hoping you were gonna run that Grand Marquis to the million mile mark.
I guess the 0w-40 isn't that much thicker than the 10w30 you were using.
I'm surprised you never wanted to give the 0w-40 a try yourself. I know you are one of Mobil 1's biggest fans and that is one of, if not, the best products they make.

I'm running it in my parent's Expedition, they really like it! Still have the Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5w40 in mine.
Art,
I really never gave 0-40 a thought until I heard of BITOG 11 months ago. The Mobil 1 10w30 worked so well I didn't see a need to change. The Mercs 4.6 still ran as good as new. Used a qt of oil every 6000 miles as always. I miss the car but really like the Fusion. Can't believe the ride quality from a front wheel drive car. My only concern is the longivity of the duratech 4 cyl engine. All Alum????

Hi,
tig1 - Many ""all alum" engines have clicked over a million or so kms without rebuilding. Porsche 928s' and some other families for instance...........

Doug,
I ask the longivity question of 4 cyl engines over on Auto gen topics and the responce was as you say. My wife and I drive a lot so we shall see how the Ford engines hold up. Driving to Florida next month 2200 miles round trip.
