V10 Motor Oil
All, Well, I've done it now. I brought home a new class A. Mine is on the FORD F53 chassis. The oil fill cap & owners manual state it is to use 5W20 motor oil ? WOW! That sure is thin....

Do not use anything but 5W20 in a V-10. Ford has been crystal clear on this issue from day one.

No they haven't. The recommended oil for my 2000 V10 was 5w-30.
I've always used at least a 5w-40 in mine as well as a lot of miles with 15w-50 (Mobil 1). 50,0000 miles later things are running as fine as when I bought it.
X2 My first v10 circa 2001 was 5w-30. My understanding is nothing was done to change the motor. Ford just changed the recommendation to improve milage.
Yep, so much for millions of dollars in research!
Well.....you're a Dodge guy, we expect that from you.....lol
