NAPA 15-50 Synthetic
I changed from motorcraft 10w 30 to NAPA 15w50 full synthetic. Seems to work good I don't see any leaks. I Don't know who the vendor is but it's not one I'm familar with. but as long as it works, who cares.American Jobs should be for Americans.
Some Cheros run at 75, and some do 69,
But if I can get mine to start and run at all, I think I'm doing fine.

In the shop manual
It says that our Northern friends should use 20 w Oil in 0 degree temps. So I was musing about using 5-20 Mobil 1, for better milage. Now I know at 0 degrees you need the Oil thin. But after your motor is warm you still got 20 weight oil in there. So I don't see why some are so worried about thin oil.
Gets where it needs to, fast and improves milage. I haven't heard, but I'm no expert, that motors in the Northern tier, wear out fast because they use thin Oil. Anybody in Minot ND got their ears on today. Do your motors wear out fast in Canada, if your not out shoveling snow give a chime!

There's a conspiracy: They're hiding the 0 friction, lifetime oil. (Along with the 100 mpg carbs)Jeepasaurus (Wagonus Grandi quadropedus)

Mobile1 5w-30 in everything I own, except my Ski-doo. It gets XPS Syn blend. That may change when the warranty is up.
My Liberty gets 21.5mpg on the highway with a 3" lift and 31" tires (stock is about 28.9") and no gear change. I attribute most of that to the Mobile1. I kept track, using several oils through a few changes before trying another. Have yet to try Amsoil, though. Oh, Royal Purple syn diff oil makes a lot of difference, too!Ron

As usual Rich!!
I guess you didn't get the memo on the special chip that doubles horsepower and triples milage for $29.95

HP doesn't seem to have gone up much but, I've never dyno'd it or anything. It will git when you gun it, tho!Ron
