New for model year 2001 and Newer: Ford and
Honda specify 5W-20 motor oil for most all cars and light trucks.
Here are the facts behind
5W-20:
Question: My owners manual species 5W-20
oil. Do I really need to use 5W-20 oil and why did my 2000 model year
vehicle require a 5W-30 oil, while the exact same engine in my 2001, 2002
and newer engines "requires" a 5W-20 oil?
Answer: You do not need to use a 5W-20
oil. Do not let your dealer scare you by telling you that you have to use it
for your warranty. That is a tactic that some dealerships use to scare
customers. Once you know the facts and the Federal Magnusson Moss Act law
you will be much better informed to protect your rights and use the type of
oil you want to use.
The main reason 5W-20 was specified for your engine is to increase the CAFE
(Corporate Average Fuel Economy) reported to the Federal Government. CAFE is
the combined average fuel economy of all of a vehicle manufacturers product
line. Minimum CAFE levels are specified by the Federal Government. In order
for a vehicle manufacturer to continue selling profitable large trucks and
SUV's, which typically have poor fuel mileage ratings, as compared to
smaller cars, and still meet mandated CAFE requirements, they must also sell
enough of the smaller cars which have much better fuel economy ratings to
offset the poor fuel economy ratings of the larger vehicles. For model year
2001, the change to a 5W-20 oil will allow Ford and Honda's overall CAFE to
increase by a very small amount, typically in the tenths of a mile per
gallon range. 5W-20 oil is a lighter viscosity than a 5W-30 oil and
therefore has less internal engine frictional losses, or less drag on the
crankshaft, pistons and valvetrain, which in turn promotes increased fuel
economy. This increased fuel economy is virtually undetectable to the
average motorist without the use of specialized engine monitoring and
testing equipment under strictly controlled test track driving when compared
to a 5W-30, 10W-30 or a 0W-30 viscosity motor oil.
Question: Could using a 5W-30, 10W-30,
0W-30 or even a 10W-40 or 20W-50, oil in my vehicle which specifies a 5W-20
oil void my new car warranty?
Answer: Absolutely not. Vehicle
manufacturers only recommend using motor oils meeting certain viscosity
grades and American Petroleum Institute service requirements. Whether a
motor oil is a 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30, 0W-30, 10W-40 or 20W-50 (for racing and
high performance applications in, for example, a Cobra R Mustang) or even a
synthetic vs. a petroleum based oil will not affect warranty coverage. The
manufacturer is required by Federal Law to cover all equipment failures it
would normally cover as long as the oil meets API service requirements and
specifications and was not the cause of failure. In addition, the Federally
mandated Magnuson - Moss Act states that a manufacturer may not require a
specific brand or type of aftermarket product unless it is provided free of
charge. If your dealership continues to tell you that you must use 5W-20
motor oil and or/ a specific brand of 5W-20 motor oil, then ask them to put
it in writing. Their position is inaccurate, and, in fact violates existing
law.*
Additionally, if there is ever a question of whether or not a particular
motor oil was the cause of an engine failure make sure to get a sample of
the used oil in a clean bottle, typically 6 oz. minimum. The oil can then be
sent to two independent testing labs for analysis. This is standard
procedure for most commercial vehicles, trucking, construction/excavation
and fleet companies and there are numerous certified test labs all over the
country. Remember, a knowledgeable and informed consumer is your best
defense against being taken advantage of by a car dealership service center.
Note: If a car
or truck dealership, service center or other business states that using
AMSOIL motor oil in your vehicle will void your new car warranty, ask for
that statement in writing and send it to AMSOIL technical Services.
If the business won't provide the statement in writing send AMSOIL Technical
Services a letter identifying who made the statement, the name and location
of the business and what the statement was. AMSOIL will then send a letter
to the business informing them that their position is inaccurate, and, in
fact, violates existing law. Your name will be held in confidence.

For those consumers that still must use a 5W-20 oil, even after reading this
informative article, AMSOIL does manufacture a 5W-20 synthetic motor oil,
called XL-7500 5W-20. It is a 7500 mile/6-month motor oil. AMSOIL's 5W-20
synthetic motor oil provides outstanding wear protection and increased
power, performance and fuel economy in high and low temperatures and also
meets and exceeds the Ford and Honda specifications.
For even better performance and protection we recommend using AMSOIL's
Series 2000 0W-30 synthetic motor oil. This is the top performing AMSOIL
Motor Oil for gasoline powered light trucks and passenger cars. It uses
race-proven technology and provides unsurpassed fuel efficiency and better
wear protection than other conventional and synthetic motor oils. It is a
35,000 mile/1-year change interval motor oil. Use it in conjunction with
AMSOIL's Super Duty Oil Filter's that specify a change interval of 12,500
miles/6-months, whichever comes first.
AMSOIL is the undisputed leader in
synthetics.............
Since
1972, AMSOIL
Synthetics have proven to be the BEST.
AMSOIL also engineers and manufactures Ea Oil
Filters with Nanofiber Technology which have a 25,000 mile/1-year service life as well as
specialized filtration systems for commercial and fleet
applications in cars and light, medium and heavy trucks which
can filter particles down to less than one micron (a standard
full flow oil filter can only filter to 20-25 microns, and at
a reduced efficiency) making oil changes virtually
unnecessary and virtually eliminating engine wear.
These filters have been proven by millions of miles of
over-the road trucks, construction equipment and fleet
service.
