I recently bought a 2020 ford edge with a 2.0 ecoboost. I’ve changed the oil with mobil1 5w30 a couple of times and switched to mobil1 0w30 for winter.
The owners manual shows this chart:
As shown, the 0w30 handles the cold better but I’m surprised that it handles the heat to 104 like the 5w30.
Can I assume from this that 0w30 is ok to use all year, driving from Boston to Houston?
Would 0w40 be a better choice in summer in Houston?
I shouldn’t have read the owners manual because then I wouldn’t be confused/concerned. Advise is appreciated!
