First Oil Change Experience

First Oil Change Experience
I went to Advance Auto Parts to get 4 quarts of 0w-20 for my first oil change. They only had 2 and I asked the lady if they had any more in stock. Her computer said over 20 were in stock. The other guy who works there says that Mobil considers 0W-20 and 5w-20 the same thing. So I bought 2 5w-20s too. My receipt says 4 Mobil 0W20/5W20s. The other guy said something about how customers were getting confused about the 0w20.
I'm going to continue my hunt for 0W20 at WalMart today. If I can find 2, I'll return the 2 5W-20s

Re: First Oil Change Experience
If you mixed equal parts of the two, would you have '2 and a half W 20?'
I just hit 15% oil life at precisely 8786 miles.... gonna drive it to 10,000 before changing... just stubborn that way I guess, plus I should still be showing 5% oil ife at that point.

Re: First Oil Change Experience
Had my first oil change at about 9,000 miles (below 0% oil life, the indicator starting accumulating "negative miles," so I figured I better take it in.
I paid $19.95 or thereabouts for the oil change with 0W-20 oil, i.e., no premium for the different weight oil at Crown Honda of Durham, NC.

Re: First Oil Change Experience
Not so much as a drop used. I'm amazed! As thin as this oil is... and as long as it's in there, I thought for sure it would be consuming some. When I did my oil change (myself) at about 8,500 miles, I was shocked to see 3.6 quarts come out (full capacity).
By the way, I've already purchased the Mobil one 0-W20 for the next change. Found it (again) at WalMart in Orange, CA.

Re: First Oil Change Experience
My oil life hit 15% at 8,600 miles. I took it to the dealer who said that I should not have waited that long. I pointed out that I was just following the car's guidance, then he said that was OK, I must drive conservatively. I had noticed a FE drop from 49 to about 45mpg for the last two tanks. After the oil change I am back to 48-49mpg
