mobile one?

hey guys, i went to get some 5W-20 mobile one full synthetic and they (Auto Zone) said that Mobile one hasn't made that weight yet to us 0w-20 which would do the same thing. that doesn't sound right does it. What do you all use. I have tried to search but doen't seem to be working right for me for some reason. thanks guys.

You can use the 15 in the winter and the 30 in the summer. Thats how I do it and I have 106K on my lightning.

Yo Suavy,
not to hijack the thread but is that 106k without a rebuild? if it is, it just shows how good Mobil 1 really is..

I asked my dealer service department when I bought my 03 L if 5W-30 Mobile 1 was OK for warranty purposes (easy to find at Walmart) and they said it was fine. 5W-20 or 0W-30 just sound to watery to me.

Many of us use Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 5W-30. You can find it at WalMart at a decent price.
