I was happy to find that my local Walmart carries the correct Motorcraft oil filter.

 

[99Mystique ATX]

I was lookin around at Advance and their name brand oil says "Compare to Halvoline" fair assumption that they come from the same distributor?

If so that's probably a pretty good deal, I think it was $7 for 5 quarts...

 

[Swazo]

This is odd. I've been having Walmart do all of my oil changes on my truck with Mobile 1. They ask what brand and weight of oil I want, and actually pull them off the selves in the store.

Are they just reselving the oil after I leave, and filling me up with a 'generic' syn out of a 55 gallon drum!? :shrug: I'll ask for the empty quarts nexttime to be sure.....

Bahaha, no! Why would we (Wal-Mart) go through the theatrics of pulling Mobile 1 off of the shelves then not putting it in? Wal-Mart doesn't have alot of room for storing oil in the TLE bay, so they just pull it off the shelve. The night stocking crew fills it back up overnight, so its full for the next morning.

I've used walmart synthetic for every oil change in the svt and it's always done well. synthetic is synthetic in my book.

I went and can only find 10W-30. I though our car uses 5W-30? No?
What grade you got?

According to Ford these engines use 5w-20

Well sort of. When 5W20 was introduced by Ford with the introduction of the 01 Escape, they also back speced 5W20 for most of the rest of their engines back several years, ours included.

However, I'm a little reluctant to go to a thinner oil on an old engine. Mine runs great on 5W30 and has for it's entire 225,000 mile life.

I do us nothing but 5W20 in the family 03 Escape though.

5w20 runs absolutely well (well ran well in my car) as well as my uncle's Lincoln Town Car . The 5w20 in the car well... saying that I notice better fuel economy would be a lie but maybe I did get marginally better. Given 15 - 30 extra kilometers per tank is not a whole lot...
