Chevron Texaco Havoline 5W20

I was in Advance Auto last night and I noticed they now have the aforementioned oil.

What suprised me the most is that it is the only 5W20 weight oil that I have seen that is priced the same as 5W30 and 10W30. I'm used to seeing a 30 to 40 cent premium on the 5W20 weights.

There were no fancy claim and it didn't state semi-sythetic or anything else. Same labeling as the other grades.

If I was using a 5W20 I would give this a shot. Has anyone using 5W20 tried this stuff yet?

I'm think'in MNgopher did in his F150, might check UOA section.

I'll be using it on the next fill for my F150. Will drain at 5K miles and send in a sample for analysis.

Yep, currently using it in my F150. Performed flawlessly in a 5000 mile summer interval. Probably will go 6000 on this run. Highly recommended!

Fifty cents extra for a group III 5W20.
Just because the oil companies are allowed to call a group III a synthetic, doesn't mean they have to.
