5w30 oil in a 5.4
Dealer did some warranty work for my today on my '06 screw with the 5.4 in it.
they threw in a free oil change.. I noticed on the paperwork that they put 5w30 (motorcraft synthetic blend) in it .. When I asked about it .. they said "that is what it comes with" and that is what we use on all the oil changes we do .. I made them clarify that they didn't actually mean 5w20.. they said, nope, we use 5w30.
my question.. the manual and the motor both say use 5w20.
am I ok to leave the 5w30 in it, or do I need to change it out?
thanks

why that dealer put the WRONG viscosity oil in your truck is beyond me.
its in the book, its on there computer, HELL ITS ON THE FILLER CAP..
take it back and bitch at the service manager because that isnt right.
btw that isnt a syn blend its regular dino oil. MotorCraft doesnt make a syn-blend in 5w-30 only 5w-20.

5w30 either come in full synthetic oil or regular dino oil not a blend.
either way it wont hurt.

thanks guys . .. didn't think to search in the 2004-on area. found just a few threads there
I am going to leave it in and run it for a few weeks, since my schedule sucks right now .. then when I take it back to the dealer, I will just kick the service mgr in the cashews, and make them do a swap to 5w20 for free..

And for those that didn't search, this is probably the best one to read.
