5W-20 engine oil?

<5W-20 viscosity is so hard to find. The oil flows like water, it's so thin.

Does this 5w-20 engine oil requirement got something to do with engine's
tighter clearances?  any ideas?..>

My wife's 02 Focus is supposed to have 5w-20.  Taking into account the rest
of the quality control in that car, I doubt it has tighter tolerances than a
D series or a SR either.  I agree 5w-20 is difficult to find.  I'm using
Valvoline Durablend 5w-20 in her car, and it isn't always easy to find.
