I literally have never seen oil come out of a drain orifice this quickly. It pooled up in my large catch pan and just as quickly began overflowing over the sides. It happened so insanely fast, this not my first time changing hot oil out let alone in this car, I am going to blame the 5w20 viscosity itself! It's all your fault 5w20!! I am unfriending you on social media!!!
I work as a professional mechanic and I have found usually the 0W-20 engines are sensitive if they don’t have 0W-20 put in them so that could of been why it was giving you that problem.2018 OB Limited 2.5L - 105,500 miles / 6000 mile OCI
Out: Valvoline Synthetic Maxlife 5w20
In: Mobil 1 EP 0W20
Oil filter: Fram Ultra Synthetic XG7317, OCI #2
Assessment: I had a horrible experience changing oil today. The engine and oil were fully warmed up before changing and upon unscrewing the drain plug... OIL VOMIT
Like I have mentioned elsewhere on this site, I did not like how the engine ran on 5w20 or 5w30 and the engine was noticably smoother upon putting 0w20 back in so I will be sticking to 0w20 from now on.
I don’t believe so I am not allowed to release anything like that from my dealership if we do we are terminated. But I have seen the cars that can take both and then some that are just strictly 0W-20 and the ones that don’t say 5W-20 or 30 be very hesitant and sensitive to higher viscosity oil especially in the winter time.

Back to my roots.
I think that's a good reason to switch back. You know what your engine likes.
