KC!!!  you're talking about DIFFERENT  viscosities of oil!   What was
the 
Mobil 1  0-50???  They do make several  viscosities!

500 miles......time to change to a 20-40  or 20 -50......how often do
you 
drive the car in SUB-ZERO temps?

Ask Joe Curran...M.I.T.  prof.     15 qts of 10-30 on the way [ 15000
miles] 
to Daytona 2000......talked him into buying 6 qts of 20-50......only
used four 
to make it home!
