For how many miles? Half-a-million? Everybody is parrotting "millions of miles" forgetting to add the word "compounded". Every cabby knows you'd leak like a donkey, if you use 5W-20 only for the life of your crownvic. I don't mind to save fuel and have a bit more power at all, it just application specific. Average barber? Yes. Professional? Let's do real fleet tests. And, please, guys, claiming to run police fleets and doing thousands of UOAs, don't forget to disclaim you did this for the first 100k of the life of the vehicle.
