I buy it at Wal-mart.

I don't think you'll get a noticeable difference in economy unless you are in a colder climate than NC.

If it gets cold down there, you will notice better and smoother startups. You may notice a Romp romp romp noise upon cold startups, and the 5w-40 will fix that. I run it and love it, and when i changed the oil at 4,000 miles last time, i sent a sample to Blackstone. They recommended me changing the next oil at 5500-6000 miles. Im going to send in a sample at 5,000 miles and see how much more i can get out of it. I unknowingly changed the oil at 4,000 miles and it apparently had alot left in it.

Here is the link to blackstone labs http://www.blackstone-labs.com/I read good things about them from this site. I just recieved my first kit i ordered from them. They send you the kit for free and you don't have to pay anything until you send it in to have the analysis done.

I saw some mobile super syn in 10w-40, says its recommended for diesels, would that hurt our power strokers? Whats the difference in a 5w and a 10 w?

the 10w is a heaver oil than the 5.
5w 40 flows like a 5w oil when cold, and when it warms up it flows like a 40w.

10w 40 flows like a 10w oil when cold, and like a 40w when it's warm
