Funny enough I'm road tripping to Florida in my 2011 Fusion 2.5 SEL next week. An 1,100 mile speed run, six days on the beach, then return trip.
I installed Mobil 1 AFE yesterday.
Some folks say 1 mpg isn't a good enough reason to run a 20wt. I look at it the other way. Since my engine will run happily for as long as I care to own it on 0w20, why wouldn't I take the extra 1mpg?
An extra 1 mpg? Interesting, I switched two vehicles from "20wt" to 30wt and have been unable to calculate any difference in mpg.
