I replaced the Mobil 1 with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w20. The manual recommends 5w20Excellent discussion y'all. This is "gettin' real about motor oil."
Re OVERKILL's new post with various very thin motor oils, I would like to add in three variables, on my 12k mile run with HPL PP 0W8 in my former Insight. The engine was becoming more broken in, the ester plating was in play, and my driving was more spirited (vs previous mild hypermiling.) All else was quite consistent.
I replaced the Mobil 1 with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w20. The manual calls for 5w20.Sure, but I'm not attempting to be precise, here. The data doesn't allow precision. I'm just saying that that the 0-16 in the OP's 0-20 spec'd truck with 98000 miles on it appears too thin in his application. I think half the posters on this thread agree that the 0-16 is too thin in this example. The Op is now going thicker, is he not? JMO
