5W-20 oil refers to the viscosity grade of the engine oil, where "5W" indicates its viscosity at low temperatures (the "W" stands for winter), and "20" denotes its viscosity at higher temperatures. This means that the oil flows like a 5-weight oil in cold conditions, allowing for easier engine start-up, while maintaining the thickness of a 20-weight oil when the engine is at operating temperature. It is commonly used in modern engines for better fuel efficiency and protection.

5W-20 oil is a type of motor oil characterized by its viscosity ratings. The "5W" indicates the oil's viscosity at low temperatures, meaning it flows like a 5-weight oil in cold conditions, which helps with engine start-up in winter. The "20" refers to its viscosity at higher temperatures, indicating it behaves like a 20-weight oil when the engine is operating at normal temperatures. This oil is often recommended for modern engines to ensure optimal performance and fuel efficiency.

According to the 2003 Mercury Sable Owner Guide : ( 5W-20 engine oil is used ) With engine oil filter change : For the 3.0 litre " Vulcan " V6 engine ( 4.5 U.S. quarts of 5W-20 engine oil ) For the 3.0 litre " Duratec " V6 engine ( 5.5 U.S. quarts of 5W-20 engine oil ) * 5W-20 should be fine year round
With a 3.0L engine 4.5 quarts of 5W-20 With a 2.3L engine 5 quarts of 5W-20
