10w-40....

Looks like I'll be able to venture outside of 15w-40.

The stang will now get 5w-20...didn't even know they made that.

Spec'd across the Ford lineup, with the exception of the 4.0 V6, for a few years now, anyway...

*My local Ford store didn't know that. That's why they don't get my business anymore.

I'm 18.

You should've seen the crap that the dealer put on the truck before I got it. The filter was from one of those bulk buy cheap parts houses.

I've had my share of those. But this isn't the Dr.Phil show, this is the oil thread.

For the 4.6 and 5.4, I don't recommend anything BUT 5w-20...

5w30 in both the ranger and the S-blazer. pennzoil conventional. motorcraft filter for the ranger, fram for the S-blazer. both still carry good oil pressure, minimal oil useage and no ticking noises. ranger is at 130,000 and change, the S-blazer is at 175,000 and change. the blazer engine actually uses/leaks less than the ranger, has 180 psi compression on all 6 cyl, and will get 23 highway mpg when its nice out. the ranger gets a oil change every 3,000 miles (which is about 4-5 months) the blazer gets a oil change every 4,000 miles (which is about every 3 months) both are down about 1/2 qt when its time to change. and the ranger oil is "dirtyer" must have more blowby, its certianly worked hard from time-to-time. ranger is a 4.0 ohv, blazer is the 4.3

Do any Ford products recommend the 0W oil yet?

 

[rambler]

in my 5.4, I run 5w30 castrol and a quart of Lucas oil treatment as well....

Just as a tidbit of info...the owners maunal for the Mustang says every 10k for oil changes. Take that for what it's worth. Oil to be used is MC 5w-20.
