Are the lighter weight oils mostly intended to improve fuel economy? A
lot of engines seem to call for 5W20 these days but in the heat of
summer, one might think that 10W30 might be better. I know someone on
here suggested that looking in the owner's manual for information on the
use of different weights in different seasons (maybe Dan), but I have
yet to remember to look in the book while in the vehicle.

I'm surprised that the Escape which calls for 20 weight oil is a 2008 V6.
I bet my neighbor is running 10W40 in his 2008 V6 if he's changing his own oil.
He's like my dad was 20 years ago, 10W40 in everything, who cares if it says
5W30 on the oil cap...
