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

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

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

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
