Mobil-1 Hybrid 0w20 soon

[buster]

I believe in SOME ways, not all, SM synthetics are a step down. Take Amsoil's 5w-40 AFL for example. *Mobil probably would have kept just one 0w-20 on the market if it weren't for morons at PepBoys telling people not to use it bc it's to watery....and other consumers who fail to read the bottle.

If the 0w-20 pours at -53 and the 5w-20 pours at -53. Why sell both?

Hmmm, cause that way they can sell more of it?
We need to see a VOA comparison!

I think it's more like the people themselves being confused by the "zero=none" viscosity rating.

Agree with vad. Much confusion out there. Most people aren't as obsessive about it like I am and take the time to find out. As for GC being watery, the real truth is its thicker than M1 5w30 down below zero degF. See discussion at Viscosity Discussion 0w- vs. 5w-

I just purchased 6 quarts of M1 0w20 at Walmart for 4.49. They matched the coupon from Pepboys. This is the first time i've seen on the bottle meets or exceeds specs for Mazda. I have a Mazda6,so this was pretty cool.
