Most cars that require that weight are fairly new so I wouldn't look for a High Mileage 5w-20 for a while yet. Try the 5w-30 High Mileage instead.
I just checked that out. I didn't know it was available yet.
Cool. Wonder when it'll appear on the shelves up this way. Might this be a better 5w20 oil to run in older cars speced for 5w20?
HM 5W20? Hmmmmm...sounds like a good canidate for a full 15oz of VSOT.
what's the need for a "heavier" 5/20? if 5/20 needs to be thickened using vsot or HM formulations, why not use 5w/30 or 10w/30 as it is?

The VSOT is not for thickening.... it's for improving what's in that crankcase.
Seems like an odd product, unless it's aimed at 5w-20 people who adhere to what the label on their oil cap tells them.

Auto-Union,
There are some people that will only use what their owner's manual says. Whether its oil or trans fluid like Honda MTF.

really some engines that are spec'd for 5w20 should be reaching 75000 miles now.
avg driving per year * years
15000 * 5 = 75000 miles

Yeah, that's what I mean. Honda MTF might be an exception. I'd use M1 ATF in a sec, but hear negative things. It's easy to change-out anyway.
My mileage on my 03 F150 is getting close to 75000 mi. I'll probably try some.
