Dang it.. I meant to say "Why does the Fusion 2.0 turbo engine spec 5w-30 and not a 5w-20 that meets the more stringent specifications" I have one and I know what is required, sorry for the typo.
I am just curious with all the trend to the lighter weight oils. Is this because no 5w-20 weight oil provides the required protection against coking or something else? Is Fords WSS-M2C946-A spec equivalent to the HT-06 spec? There must be more to this than just a weight spec.
