Any input for a ford triton v10 as to brand and weight of motor oil. Its a 34 ft winni. Thanks guys

Started using Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w-30 after 10,000 miles on engine. Now have 94,000 miles no problems. I use the extended service Mobil 1 synthetic and change oil and filter between 5 & 7,000 miles.Side Note: Our manual spec'd 5w-30 oil, later Ford issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) recommending use of 5w-20 oil for supposedly a bit better fuel mileage, however, living in the hot desert I opted to continue using the 5w-30 oil.Good luck with your choice of Oil and safe travels....:)

Should be a sticker in plain view when you look under the hood... My fords since 2004 have all been 5W-30... Some guys tell you to run 5W-20 during the winter months but I never did...

Thanks LVJ58. Gonna top it off and head to coos bay, or

My 2004 F-150 and 2015 ACE on a F-53 V10 both call for 5W20 semi-synthetic Motorcraft oil. No reason to change since my F-150 is running strong. Jim.

Another vote for Mobile 1 Syn, 5W-30.

Should say right on the fill cap. Mine does.. Calls for 5w20. I run it year round.
I use the blend. Same thing that came in it.

What year is your MH? I run 5W20 in the winter and 5W30 in the summer. I tried 5W20 in the summer once towing my TT. When I went to start it the next day it clattered for about 2 seconds until the oil pressure built up. The 5W20 gets so thin when it's hot it's like water. The oil will all drain down because it's so thin! I never have that problem with 5W30.

I'de run 5W30 with how hard the engine has to work.

Amsoil 5w-20 long-life, good for 25,000 miles. Also Amsoil long-life filter. I carry a case of oil, top it off as necessary (a quar every 1500 miles or so), and get a complete oil and filter change at about a year, which is usually only about 6,000 miles. Being lazy, I figure anything that prolongs the interval is good . . .

My 2012 MH Ford owners manual call for 5w20 except for extreme cold winters then its says get back to Florida. Motorcraft blended 5w20 in 5qt jug is a bargain at Wallyworld. New engines these days have much closer tolerances and don't need thick oil.

I use NAPA 5W20 or 30 just like the book says. I change it every 6 or 8000 miles. It has 180,000 and only uses about 1/2 qt between oil changes so I never add any.

My explorer started with 0W20 from the factory, but has graduated to 5 or 10W30 Mobil-1 in its older age. It's way happier.

All of our Triton engines in ENG news vans are running 10W30 Mobil-1, and are Class C weight in city traffic 15+ hrs/day.

There will surely be those coming along to start the Dino argument... ignore 'em. Use what YOU like.

My manual also calls for 5W20. I've been using conventional because I change the oil every 3750 miles (twice per 7500-mile cycle). I'm thinking about switching to synthetic, though, and going to a 7500-mile interval.
