I think most guys changing their own oil stay away from 0W20, it has the rep of being factory oil to increase FE while sacrificing engine longevity.
From my basic understanding of how oil works I agree with that, now if they had 0W40 then I'm more interested.
Why its in Walmart I don't know, maybe walmart attracts people who change their own oil but follow the manufacturers recommendations to the letter.
I, like many "car guys" know better than the manufacturers... and I avoid walmart like the plague.
