You shouldn't "top it off" with a different weight of oil than what's already in it. If you don't know what's in it, then change it.

So does my 2011. If you check the Ford website virtually all of the late model V-10's call for nothing but 5W20. Another vote for full synthetic oil and for the transmission - differential.

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

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.

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...

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....:)
