I guess you didn't read the fine print, did you? You can have one or the other but not both.

BTW, where is that Mobil 1 0W20 racing you mentioned? I only see 0W-20 Advanced Fuel Economy.

Please clarify your statements.
They no longer sell the 0w20 racing oil to the public.

0W-50 designed to
maximize
engine protection
Sorry, can't make it simpler than that.
As for the 0W-20, you said:

That is apparently not true as there are only 2 available: 0W-30 and 0W-50.
You're saying a 0w50 > 0w30 in all applications just because the viscosity is higher? Not true.
