The people who've posted here implying that the XW-20 oil isn't "up to the job" are simply misinformed. Go ahead and use a 5W-20 or the Mobil 1 0W-20 with confidence. The 5W-20 dinos and semi-syns are very carefully spec'd by the manufacturers, and are all high quality stuff. The Mobil 1 of course meets the usual high standards.
Go to the oil-nut site http://www.bobistheoilguy.com and check the forums for actual reports of people who use XW-20 oil. The results for them, in cars it's spec'd for, are uniformly excellent. No worries.

ps. people said the same stuff about 5W-30 when the auto makers started spec'ing it back in the day.
