Mobil 1 0w20 in a 2000 GT

[Venom_Nitrous]

Is this oil safe to run in my 2000?? would assume it is good for a little extra hp.

 

[bdcardinal]

yes it is safe to run however i dont see the advantage of using it. the amount of power you would gain would be offset by the lack of protection offered by tthe 5w30 oil.

 

[GTvert01]

It would probably be ok,but I would stick with 5/30

We're running the 0W-20 in both our GTs, but will likely switch to a 5W-30 when we do the next change.

You might consider 0-30, although it is hard to find sometimes. If you go to the Mobil 1 web-site you will see that the 0-20 is not approved by ford for some reason, but the 0-30 is. When its all said and done, it probabaly wont make that much of a difference anyway. As a side note, I have been running the 0-30 for over a year with no problems, and no noticeable performance increase

0w-20 is a replacement for 5w-20 it fine!

 

[bdcardinal]

i personally never use the 20 weight oils. i just havent seen enough long term results to want to use it. 5w30 is fine for my car all year long.

0-20W is fine for your car. In fact if you look it up in the owner's manual you will find the specification code Ford recommends, and Mobil 1 0-20W meets it. I'm using it in my own car.

I use 15W50 Mobil 1. It says on the back it is designed for muscle car applications as well as turbo'd and supercharged cars. Is this too heavy??

 

[bdcardinal]

unless you are running a turbo or supercahrger with lots of boost than ya its too thick. i would use a 5w30 for most applications. you want the first number to be lower, like a 5 because thats the viscosity when cold. so you would oil up in the cams on a cold start as soon as possible.

0w20 Mobil 1 in my bullitt, no performance increase, or problems. The oil meets specifications set forth by ford. On the Mobil 1 bottle it even says recommended for Ford applications.

 

[DELOS02GT]

I started to use Mobil 0w20 at 3,000 miles. I used to use Mobil 5w30 in my 02 GT and it ran fine. I'll stick to the 0w20 with the Mach.

I put 0w20 Mobil 1 in last weekend and took my car to the track and destroyed the rear end! (Plus a couble of other ad ons )

I ran a X Pro 5.0 car 4 years ago and talked with Billy Glidden and he was running 0w oil, the stuff looked like water and had other secret additives that was specially blended for him that I believe came from Red Line.

0W20 is no problem for our cars

ok, thanks, I will use it then. I guess the main reason is because I am going to college in the Black Hills in South Dakota, and the winters are bitches there.
