Again I am answering for the OP. Thats the way its supposed to work here. Sharing opinions, not fear. If a ONE TIME using it in the winter helps out the OP, I fully stand by my statement. Feel free to dislike it all you want.

I swear, if I stated "water is wet" immeadiatly someone would challenge it. Whats wrong with people?

That's BITOG, where everyone is correct and an expert.

Bulk oil is a crapshoot. Who knows what’s in there.

Fortunatly the bulk oil here only comes from 2 places. A Shell and A Rebel distributer..I know the rebel sells phillips 66 oils. Shell sells shell oil so both are ok to use.

Bingo card urge rising

5w20 will get better mpg then 5w30 any day of the winter solstice. Ford knows its data.

Do you really think bulk oil is inferior? This place

Funny, I don’t remember saying that.

Has to meet manufacturers specs-what ever it is.

My dealer has been through multiple distributors. Really comes down to trust. Good news is that the dealer has to backup whatever is in the tanks.

I just do my own.

Today I texted my 17 year old to take the Wrangler to get an inspection so I could pay for the yearly registration. He went to some oil change place (the machine was down where I originally told him to go) and they inspected the Jeep AND changed the oil.

500 miles ago I had put in some Royal Purple HPS 5W30 with the intent of a yearly OCI and a UOA. My son said that English was a second language for the tech and they had already drained it. He didn’t get charged for the oil change. Things happen. I’m not going to worry about it.
