Hold one minute.... I thought the Mobil 1 0W-20 is not out yet. How did you get ahold of them? I had a reply from the guys at Mobil 1 telling that there's a delay on releasing that weight on synthetic oil.

Please clarify.

Thanks,
Cap.

I got a case of Mobil 1 0w-20 synthetic oil at Auto Barn here on Long Island.

What happens if you use 5W 30 instead of 20. I just got some Castrol Syn. 5W 30 & wanted to see the diffence between that & the 5W 20 & also between the mobil 1 oils

Man I have yet to see it around Atlanta. Here's the excerpt from the folks at Mobil1

I know they use synthetic in the 02 and 03 TL, should i use the redline synthetic in my '99?

You know who does? Dealers? Neither my 02 or 03 had synth from factory/dealer

The only concern with using synthetic on older (read: high mileage) cars are the seals, you may have some oil leakage as a result of switching to synth.
