I'm pretty sure they still sell it at auto zone, but you're just wasting your money either way. (See your oil thread.)

With the amount of miles you have on your engine?? Your pushing it a little there.. Maybe, MAYBE, 6000mi. It specifically says 12,000 miles with regular (3-5000mi) filter changes in a "clean" engine ie: no broken gaskets etc.

Mobil Clean 5000 for you, and I bet you'll save money. You could run Mobil 5000 longer too if you wanted to change the filter every 3,000 miles like RP says to do.

i doubt if oil weight had anything to-do wth stopping an oil leak and using a thicker/heaver oil reduces HP and can actually lead to scuffing of engine parts, which equals more wear, loss of HP and a decrerase in fuel mileage.....

I think everyone pretty much already covered everything...but yeah we will probably never carry it since its not the best idea to be running that weight oil in the year Mustangs we cater to.
