I have a 2000 Grand Marquise with 50.234 miles. I see the 2005 and 2006 Grand Marquise call for 5w-20 motor oil. It’s the same motor as in my 2000 question is can I use 5w-20 in my 2000 Grand Marquise. I currently use mobile full synthetic 5-30. Any thoughts Replies to this message: euphonium (Mar 09, 2006 8:14 pm)

Replying to: tritium_man (Mar 09, 2006 10:49 am) Mobil 1 5-30 is great. If you ever get to 120,000 miles, you may need to mix half 5-30 and half 20/50 to get 12.5/40 which is working just fine in my 94 Town Car & 95 T Bird.

iusecad: thanks   tritium: my 04 Crown Vic 4.6L calls for 5W-20, but I use Castrol Synthetic 5W-30, same as I use in my 04 Ram Hemi...I fail to use how a 30 weight when hot can hurt the engine in place of the reco 20 weight...besides, is the actual difference even noticeable from 20 to 30 weight???...maybe in the cold tundra of Alaska/North Dakota and Montana, but in Georgia winters, where the temp spends two weeks below freezing and we call that "cold?"

I'm going with 5w30 synthetic in my Grand Marquis - I use 5w20 only in the winter, at best. It is just too thin for my tastes. Replies to this message: johnclineii (Mar 12, 2006 5:23 am) euphonium (Mar 12, 2006 1:38 pm) jsylvester (Mar 12, 2006 5:52 pm) euphonium (Mar 12, 2006 10:20 pm)

#10 of 102 Fuel economy question by fscarano May 05, 2006 (9:37 am)
I drive a 2000 Grand Marquis 56-thousand miles. I currently average 24-26 MPG Highway. Tires at 34 PSI Mobil 1 5w-20 synthetic, any other ideas how to squeeze a few more extra MPG?   Is Ford's 100.000 mile tune up good should I do sooner?

Replying to: fscarano (May 05, 2006 9:37 am) Weight is a factor. What you are hauling around in the trunk that doesn't need to be there should be removed. That goes for the back seat area as well. Replies to this message: fscarano (May 05, 2006 6:50 pm)
