i have never trusted 5w-30 in larger motors like your F-150's "what was ford thinking"

wrong...almost every Ford vehicle made after 1999 now requires 5w20. it says it right on the oil cap. Even the E-series vans w/ V8's say 5w20 on the cap.

(require is used loosely in terms of what the car's oil cap says)

I can only assume that new engines are a lot tighter in the tolerance department than the engines of old...
