[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 401795, member: 18302"] FWIW, Ford spec's 5w30 for my '99 4.2 (same engine as Lou's '02). I agree with Bwalker, 5w20 is for CAFE reasons. I'll bet there are plenty of '97 F150's with 100,000+ miles that have been given 10w30 all their lives. OTOH, Ford doesn't seem to think there is any harm in running the thinner oil. Ultimately they are responsible for warranty work and class action lawsuits if their vehicles suffer premature engine failure. IMO, they would not recommend 5w20 if they felt there were a risk.
