Oil TSB

[K2AHollywood]

I knwo there is a lot of back and fourth on what weight everyone uses but I was in the shop today and playing around on Alldata and found a TSB stating that the 99-02 should switch from 5w-30 to 5w-20 which would increase fuel economy. Has anyone read this or tried it? Actually proof? Big deal? I know the 01-02 are already running the 5w-20, but if I can save a few MPGs I would like to.

I'm pretty sure the little book from Ford that came with the car says 5w30 for my 99'.

Cap on my 01 says 5w20 but I dont use that. 0w30 german castrol here. Gas mileage isnt why we bought these cars.

Mine does too, but the TSB was from 00 so after print and a 'revision.' The more I think about this though, the answer doesnt really matter Im not switching weights after running the same one for the last 100,000
