Does everyone really use 0W20 oil in their Explorers?
In my 2007 Eddie Bauer, with the V8, and 120,000 excellent miles, I ran 5W30 most of the time after the first 2-3 changes with the 0W20. Seemed to run smoother, and no ill effects on the gas mileage. Used full synthetic too.
I plan to change the oil at the first 1,000 mile (I always do this early change with my new cars) mark with 0W20 and maybe 1 or 2 more, and then switch to 5W30.
Comments? Good? Bad?
Thanks!
