oil change question
My 2013 Eco f150 just passed 60,000 miles and out of warranty. Thinking I will stop the dealer oil changes. Question is on type of oil. Ford uses a 5/30 synthetic blend oil, motorcraft of course. D...

Is 5w-20 a typo, or do you have the 5.0L Ford engine? The 3.5L Ecoboost definitely calls for 5w-30 oil.

I have been using Motorcraft 5w-20 synth blend as recommended since new. I change the oil around 3-4k miles. I was told I should follow the extreme duty schedule if I tow AT ALL, not only "all the time". I didn't follow the schedule on coolant, and finally changed it at 100K miles, rather than like 40K, and the coolant broke down and turned to goo. My system couldn't get rid of the heat because of the thin layer of brown goo coating the inside of the radiator and aux cooler. Got pretty expensive until we finally figured it out. Oil changes are cheap insurance IMO.
I have the 5.4 L. It calls for 5w-20
