Has anyone seen a oil survey - database format? I would be interested in seeing what everyone is running.
I have heard arguments that the only reason they spec them for 5W-30 is because they get a fraction better gas mileage and this helps with the CAFE standards.
This bulletin would seem to discredit this argument since the CAFE standards are designed around production specs. That is, if Ford produced the new car or truck to run 10w-30 then, after producing that model year, recommended 5w-30 as the bulliten states - there would be no CAFE benefit.

'97 F150 Lariat, Flareside, white/sliver, SC, ORP, 5.4 (FQR), Mods: 305/70/16 GY ATS, AR Baja wheels, dual exhaust, Smittybilt Nerf Bars, Edelbrock IAS Shocks, K&N Filter and Carbon Fiber Bug Gaurd. Rigged the fog lights too.
