Thanks guys.
Oregoonian,
Why are you thinking of switching to a 30 wt oil? It looks like your Focus is still performing well, so I would stick with the 0-20. Both of my Duratech engines are starting to get some years on them, and miles, but both are performing like new on 0-20.
My thinking is that my 03' Ford Focus 2.3 Duratec has about 140k on it....a little heaver oil would help it some. Most likely its just "wishful thinking"....and 0w20 or 5w20 will do fine.
My next oil chancge will be in late October, and decided to try PP 5w20. OCI will be about 7500k and one year. I currently have QSUD 0w20 in it and am well pleased with the results.
