2016 Ford Fusion 2.0 ecoboost. 5.7 quarts Quaker State 5W40 full synthetic and Supertech 3614 oil filter. I got this oil on clearance at Walmart for $16 a jug, decided to give it a go. 5,000 oil changes. I've been impressed with the standard Supertech filters so that went on.

Car was a 2002, not 2001. Too late to edit. Not that it really matters.
Brah. I was just about to say something.

That’s pretty thin oil for a 4.0, would go with a 30 weight in the future. Thicker viscosity at operating temp offers more engine protection.

0w20 is the factory specd viscosity on practically all Toyotas made in the last 15 years or so. I don't necessarily disagree with you about using a heavier oil long term, but 0w20 is what is specified.

It’s in the US owners manual because of CAFE. It’s not necessarily in the best interest of the owner. Here is the oil chart from outside the US. It’s same exact thing for my Tacoma. Your 4Runner is really rated up to 15w-40. 0w-20 is the thinnest oil allowed. Something to consider.
Motor Oils - Fuel Economy vs. Wear
Conventional wisdom states that engine oils that increase fuel economy allow less friction and prolong engine life. The purpose of this article is to challenge conventional wisdom, particula…

5200 miles on oil
Out:
Kirkland Signature 0w20
Fram TG 7317
In:
Mobil 1 0w20 AFE
Wix 57055
I purchased the 12 quart box from Wally’s to try. I usually use Pennzoil Platinum or Kirkland but I didn’t feel like hassling with the rebate or waiting for a Costco run.
I now have 8 filters to cut open as soon as I can squirrel some OT money away and purchase a cutter I’ll try my hand at cutting and posting my findings on here.

Kennedy reports on tons of oil changes he accomplishes. I'm assuming these reports are of clients of his and most-all mechanics like Kennedy will use the oil grade that's specified for the vehicle engine, unless told otherwise.
Mechanics I know will state on the receipt ownership wanted to use a different grade than what the manufacturer specs.
When I took my daughter's 3.6 for an oil change at Planet Oil Change Shop, they barked hard (but did not bite) when I handed them a five quart jug of 0w40 instead of 5w30. They mentioned the ownership 0w40 request on the receipt.

Pretty much this. The only vehicle I own is a 2004 Silverado with a 5.3, it gets 15w40 year round. The yota is a car sale buy my boss bought to flip. His flippers get the cheap oil and a bottle of Swepco 502. So do some of his personal/work vehicles. Most however get either Amsoil Signature Series or Swepco 306 based on the age of the vehicle and if there are warranty restraints.
2008 CRV. 232k on the car, just over 4200 on the OCI. I was going to wait until 5k but daughter heading back to school in AM, not sure when coming back yet. Also had NYS inspection done this morning at dealer.
Out - PP 5W-30 and 1qt HPL EC30, XG7317. Very minor stuff sticking to the new Votex magnetic plug.
In - 1.5qts PP 5W-30, 2.5 qts PP Euro L 5W-30 and 1qt HPL PCMO 5W-30, XG7317. Trying to use up the open jugs.
CRV only calls for 4.4qts with filter change. When checked on level ground was only 1/4 way between dipstick holes. I added the extra to bring to 5qts and now shows full. My waste jug had at least 4.7qts in it.

Our CRV calls for less than 5qts but it always shows low and I have to add close to 5qts
