No more 15W50?

[SCaddict]

I went to get my summer oil today and the parts store says that Mobil 1 switched to 5w50 instead of 15w50. Has anyone else seen this or is Partsource on crack?

Yeap, I was going to get some oil last weekend but all I could find was 5w50 and 10w50

According to the Mobile 1 site, Mobile 1 Extended Performance comes in 15W50

I JUST BOUGHT 15 50 MOBILE 1 A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AT AUTOZONE FOR MY SC. I WAS REALLY LOOKING FOR 20 50 BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT.

Is this a Canada thing then? I will check a couple more parts places tomorrow and see what I can find.

So, is 5w50 going to still be ok in our cars?

[Big Cat Davo]

Like I said before . . . the Mobile 1 Extended Perfomance Oil is 15W50.

I am sure we can get it.

I bought some yesturday at AutoZone for the lawnmower.
It uses 1.5 quarts.

Think it would be ok to use the leftover half qt.
to fry mushrooms in? found three today. :)

Not to sound like a newbie but what are the advantages of running 15w50 over the standard 10w30?

Not to sound dumb Dave, but why is it now labeled 5W50?

Umm, you missed the part where Dave said "Extended Performance" :rolleyes:

[turbospeed]

well im going to sound extremely ignorant , but whats so great about that specific weigth?

[darkstar_one]

the specific weight is great for high mileage SC's over 100k and its freat for all weather performance.

Per someone's comment, looking for 20w50, as far as I know, Mobil 1 Never came in 20w50

I just had 15w50 put in my SC yesterday. Only 1 (now) of the 5qt containers left at the Wal-Mart.

I just picked up 17 bottles of the 15w50. That should last a while.

In my 91 I use Valvoline 20w50 Race oil in the warmer months and 10W40 in the winter. In the turbo car I use Valvoline 20W50 Full synthetic all year round.
