From what I see on the Mobil site the 20W50 is the V-twin motorcycle oil which has even more of the good stuff than the 15W50. I don't know how suitable it is for our engines.

More than 75% of the engine wear occurs when engine is cold. 0W 40 or 0W 60 flows better at engine start-up (cold engine), hence less frction and engine wear. The 0W oil may be consumed much faster than the 15W and 20W and you will need to buy new oil to add in from time to time. However, compared to engine wear, buying new oil is chicken fee.

The expression is "chicken feed," i.e. cheap enough to feed your chicken.
BTW- just swung by Wally World in Torrance to lool for 10W-40 for my Mercedes. No full synthetic oil of any type on sale over there. If you've got spare time on your hands, you could try and get someone on the phone (ha ha) to confirm availability in your area. I figured speaking to humans was not an option. There's also no oil info on their fairly lame website either.
Please don't start an oil war here. We've beaten this dead horse many times, and there's not much consensus.
