Overkill has another thread re his change to Mobil 1 0W30 from the PC 0W40 and as I recall he has about 18 quarts of this stuff. By the time he has used it all up it may well be available in Canada

Thinner oil is making the engine run better.
What else would we expect?
When the engine was new and tight, even the 5-20 could not compensate for extra friction.

I was hoping you'd stick with the PC oil, but hey, you gotta do what works!
What are you doing with all the PC 0W-40 you bought?
I used all the 0w40. It is in my buddy's Mustang, my sister's Exploder, my parent's Expedition, and the Focus!
Stevie heads to the states somewhat regularly, if he goes again, I'll probably get him to get me more.
Due to the limited availability, it isn't practical for me to use this in anything other than the Expie, so I will continue to use the PC products in the other vehicles. Don't worry

The 5w20 run was last year bud, not when the vehicle was new
We bought the truck with 150,000Km on it.

I very much like this oil as well. So far I've ran it once in my 09 Speed 3, '10 Cobalt, 96 Z24 and 01 GMC and loved it in every one. Especially awesome in the Cobalt. I've been singing this oil's praises since it came out. Glad everyone else is coming around on it as well. I love the Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy and High Mileage oil's. They really hit a couple home run's with them. And with all the hate M1 took for so long, it's good to see them making a couple awesome products and winning people over with them.

I'll do one more change with RL in the truck and save the rest for the Mustang. Then I might have to give this Mobil 1 0w30 a shot.

Say Hi to StevieC, we missed him.
I have one 5qt jug each Mobil 1 0W30 and 5W20 I bought last Spring with $10 XOM rebate, I don't know should I exchange 5W20 for 0W30 ?

Dunno. I've got enough for the next four oil changes in the Expedition now.
I'm really quite impressed with it (obviously, judging by how much of it I've purchased), which vehicle would you be running it in?

I think I will wait for my used oil analysis of this Mobil 1 0W30 before getting anymore...just to see beyond butt dyno feel that it really does perform well in my application.
OVERKILL, how far away are you from your first used oil analysis with this AFE oil?

A ways still. Probably about 8,000Km?

I am halfway there i.e. 4k kms as of today in my current OCI (using this Mobil 1).

Nice!
I put it in at almost 204 on the button, and Have around 206,000 on it now. Figure I'll change the first run out at 10K and if she's golden, then go for my "regular" 12K next run.
