I have 2 cars that the OM calls for 5W-20 oil, a '06 Miata and a '07 Focus. Both cars are not driven hard and I'd like to keep both healthy until the wheels fall off.
So, the question for the group is .. should I continue to use 5W or switch to 0W as I understand that 0W has a better base stock? At present I'm using QSUD in both cars and both engines seem to like it. Your thoughts on winter rating and possibly, but not necessarily, a brand change .....
