F150 2000 correct motor oil info request
Hi,
I have a 2000 F150, 4x4, 4.6L V8 engine, auto transmission. The owner's manual says the correct oil to use is Ford Motorcraft SAE 5W-20 super premium motor oil.
Somehow I got mixed up and have been using SAE 5W-30 (five - thirty). Will this cause a problem?
Thanks

I build them, so for 2000 it should be 5w-30 oil. It was 2002 model year that we switched to 5w-20 I think to lube the head and cams a little better. I've had no problem with 5-30 but depends on your climate too. I could swear 02 was the change in oil year, not 01. I use mostly castrol GTX because John Force is my homeboy, haha, hotty daughters too. I'm thinking of switching to high mileage blend.
