Important Information About Mobil 1 Synthetic Motor Oil For Mach 1's
Hey I just wanted to let you all know I called Mobil 1 today and spoke to them about the difference in 0w-20 and 5w-20 Mobil 1 synthetic oil since 0w-20 says on the bottle it is recommended for ford vehicles that would otherwise use 5w-20
Well, they told me that 5w-20 IS NOT just 0w-20 packaged in a different bottle as many have stated on this forum. Actually 0w-20 is being discontinued because many consumers were having trouble at the dealerships for not using 5w-20. He told me that 5w-20 would replace 0w-20 and it is actually a little bit thicker viscosity at start up than 0w-20, but would supply all the same benefits gains from 0w-20. He said those individuals using 0w-20 could change to the new 5w-20 without any difficulties. I think this is some important information for fellow mach 1 owners that are currently using either 0w-20 or 5w-20, so i just thought i'd pass the word along.

Re: Important Information About Mobile 1 Synthetic Motor Oil For Mach 1's
Thanks - I'll get mine changed to the 5W-20 at the next service (will be before weather gets warm, so I doubt if the lower viscosity is an issue right now).

I just checked Mobil1's website and there is no sign of 0w20 anymore.

There are ways to accomplish this and it even outperforms 0W oil. Oil can be injected on the cam and bearing just as quick as you turn the key. If your interetsed I can get you a discount maybe even a group buy. https://www.amsoil.com/storefront/amk.aspx

In the "Nobody else cares category.." I was thinking of trying out Amsoil, but I see that Amazon caries Royal Purple HPS 5w-30, so I'm pretty sure I'm going with that here soon. They do not carry that in stores near me locally. #everyonerollseyes

Re: Important Information About Mobile 1 Synthetic Motor Oil For Mach 1's
Leave it to Ford. I'm starting to think they pay people just to find ways to void the warranties. What's next? If it isn't Ford's oil and they didn't change it the warranty is void? I've always run a better grade of oil and changed it more frequently than what the manufacturer calls for. I want the added protection.

Re: Important Information About Mobile 1 Synthetic Motor Oil For Mach 1's
I'd say it is "also" has a lot to do with marketing and brand recognition.
Sales down Mobil?? Just think people go in ask for 5w20 Mobil, "Well miss/sir Mobil does not make a 5w20 they make a 0w........ That is all most people have to hear to go purchase some other brand. 0w what! does not even make sense. I am sure in olil terms it does but not to joe public. Like this post mentions, I am not disputing that it is a rebranded oil, but I am sure that marketing had lots of influence. |

Re: Important Information About Mobile 1 Synthetic Motor Oil For Mach 1's
anyone who uses 5w-20 is asking for engine trouble. 5w-30 is the way to go

I wonder about this one. What's the problem with using 5w30? At cold start-up they are both 5w spec for fast lubing, so what's the difference? I know the book calls for 5w20, but since the mod motors run so flippin hot, having 30w protection once it's hot seems to make a lot of sense to me. Motorcraft makes their specified semi synthetic in both multi-weights. Any input would be appreciated. Motor oil is still a dark science with so many authorities claiming cosmic wisdom.
