2001 - What oil do you pick ???

[KXHauler]

Rather than go to the 10w-30, wouldn't 5w-30 be a closer match to the recommended 5w-20?

In 99 and 2000, Ford recommended 5w-30 in the exact same motors that they now call for 5w-20 in. So I would have to believe that 5w-30 is safe to use..

My bad, I am thinking of the oil I put in my old truck I was thinking 5-30 Mobil 1, I saw it at Walmart. Is the cap. 5 quarts or 5 plus some? [img]images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]

I am thinking of using Mobil 1 10-30 if it won't be a problem, unless there is an other synthetic oils in 5-20 that are available all over (walmart,ect.) [img]graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

Six full quarts. Also, if you're doing it yourself, buy the Fumota valve with nipple. Makes your changes much easier and less messy.

I use Motorcraft synthetic blend 5W20.Only $1.77 a quart at Wal Mart. Ford tech friends of mine recommend it.

I'm either going to use the Mobil 1 5w30 at 5000 mile intervals or the Motorcraft 5w20 at 3000 mile intervals. Haven't quite decided yet, but need to soon.
