Default Mobil 1 0W20

I was in Kragen's today and noticed bottles of 0W20 Mobil 1 oil. I asked the clerk about it and he said it was brand new. I hadn't seen it before when I was buying Mobil 1 5W20. The bottle said 0W20 - Performance for 5W20 applications. I wonder if this is the return of 0W20 that has been promised?

I was notified by my local parts guy that Mobil had started production of 0W-20 again. He's currently waiting for it to make it to his warehouse. Soon I'll have some...

Yep, re-released. Enough people complained they revived it after discontinuing it. I made out quite well because I got it for $1 a quart at Autozone when they were clearing it out, still have a very small stockpile left.

"I'm very secure with my little Insight, no Prius envy here."
