.RJ Wrote:0w20 probably doesnt change anything, unless you do a lot of driving in really cold temps.I don't really. According to Amsoil, this 20 weight has slightly better wear characteristics and produces better gas mileage. Time will tell about the second part.
The 0w20 is one of a few of their standard oils that is rated to last up to 25,000 miles when used in conjunction with the EA oil filter, the XL series is not. Since it's thinner than the 5w30, I'm hoping that I'll pull an mpg or two and maybe another 1000 miles out of the interval.
