Is it pretty much the same formula for each I'm wondering? All are semi-synthetic with a mix of GroupII & III oils and their MC is quite good, scoring well in UOAs, I hear...
My mother's Ford Taurus needs changing (1999 or 2000, I forget which, 24v ), and I don't have a manual but think it "prefers" 5W-30, but allows for 10W-30 to be used in warmer weather. I also hear it may have been "back-spec'd" for 5W-20 (I'm so confused).
I'm looking at forking over just under $10 for a 5qt jug of Motorcraft 5W-20/5W-30 "semi-synthetic" or $2.07 (which actually seems like a bargin) or buying Kendall GT-1 "semi-synthetic" on sale for either $1.19/qt. or $.79/qt with a rebate... (an even bigger bargin!) I haven't seen Philips66 TropArc around here for ages (Target used to carry it in the Buffalo area, but has long since stopped).
Mom gets only the best, so what do you think?
