Havoline 5w20 full synthetic

[Panzerman]

Does anyone know if the old Havoline 5w20 full synthetic(the ones in the metallic blue bottles, that Big Lots clearanced) are on the thinner side or thicker side of a 5w20. I know their conventional is on the thin side, but I recall this oil being a totally different animal. I have alot of trouble using the search engine on here. Does anybody know, I got about 7 bottles to use up, and wondering if I should use them up in the summer during the heat or wait till fall. When a thinner grade would be better, if there is such a thing as fall in Florida.

We live just a few miles north of the Florida line and got enough 5W20 Havoline on clearance for a couple of oil changes. Our vehicles call for 5W20. Oil seemed to do fine and nothing blew up!

How much / qt?

You just reminded me. Last week at the Mt Pocono WM had some Havoline. Didn't stay long enough of what grades they had.

It is a fine oil and I beleive it is not the thin stuff when they switched to deposit shield. I no longer have the spec sheet as it was many computers ago....

I chose not to buy it becuase I got my Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 for 2.84/qt so it was about a dollar more and I went with PP. When I use my stash, I will explore other oils as well.

According to the datasheet, that stuff was 47 cSt at 40°C and 8.9 cSt at 100°C.

Thanks, That would put it at a happy medium 5w20, not light or heavy, about in the middle.
