I should be sorry too. You mentioned it was an Escape in your original post, I must have skimmed over that part. In warm weather 5W20 is probably better than 0W20 if only because the 0W20 probably has a substantially higher Noack Volatility than a 5W20 of the same brand. If I put enough mile

This guy who owns the property next to me had this fenced-in “hunting reserve” out further in the country. He got busted for importing Wisconsin deer, which are bigger than the scrawny things around here. They also have diseases that could spread to the local population and cause mayhem. He got

I think I sent a link to that chart that showed the “acceptable “ (Mobil1) oils for various MB engines. It basically ran 0 or 10Wwhatever depending on temperature. I was looking in relation to the V12 as there was a bottle of 10W60 lubriMoly in the trunk, and that was an acceptable oil for war

I was doing that with the Dodge at the local Valvoline place, you don't even get out of the car...Then I noticed at around 5,000 miles the engine would tick on startup, nothing major, just a new noise. It went away with an oil change. I changed it myself to M1 last spring (May? I forget, we don

That’s pretty much the case. Mercedes has stickers all over cars from the late 90s pushing the “European Formula” M1 0W-40, but in reality, I could easily use the 15W-50 in my cars/climate without a problem - and I have, mainly in higher mileage cars to maintain a solid idle oil pressure during

I expect if you looked in the manual you'll find a range of acceptable oil weights for your car. My Dodge calls for 5w20 most of the time but IIRC can go up to 5w40 or even 10w40 in hot weather. I fill it with 5w20 and call it good. The new Jetta TDI has to have VW 507.00 oil which is always 5w3

Sorry guys, I correct myself (old age thing). I use 5w20 full synthetic Mobil 1 in the Atlanta area. I use it because Ford stamped it in big yellow numbers on the oil cap. The Ford dealer shop guy once told me the Escape V6 needed really thin oil for the ultra small oil ports/paths within the

You're dreaming. 250# would be a big buck even up north in big deer country. We're hunting the urban/rural divide so the deer are smaller but even up north a doe in the 150# range is a big animal.I'd expect a yearling to be in the 90-100# range, a skippy (this year's fawn) would be 40-50 which
