Thank God for Doug! You do more for Mobil 1 than anybody.
Can I ask you if you think 0w-40 can be safely used in a vehicle factory spec'd for 5w-30? I have a 1996 Lincoln Town Car, which has the Ford 4.6 in it.
Art,
I just sold my 96 Merc GM in Aug. but always used M1 10-30 and 10-30EP with 10,000 mile OCIs. Mileage at the time I sold it was 218,000 miles. As Doug said I believe the M1 0-40 will work fine in the 4.6.
Tig,
I was hoping you were gonna run that Grand Marquis to the million mile mark.
I guess the 0w-40 isn't that much thicker than the 10w-30 you were using.
I'm surprised you never wanted to give the 0w-40 a try yourself. I know you are one of Mobil 1's biggest fans and that is one of, if not, the best products they make.
