Yep, so that is my question. Can I do it? I've got 114k and the engine runs like new. Obviously I would do so for the gas mileage, I know the insight people used 0w20 until they stopped making the junk. What do you think?

no, its to thin for your car, stick with a 5w30 synthetic, the only thing you will gain is increased engine wear
