I just bought my wife a new accord and it uses 5w20 oil. I was thinking about using synthetics like the mobil 1 or something. I never have used synthetic oil because most of my vehicles ive bought have already had several miles on them and wasnt sure if it was good to switch. This car however...

I dont have a clue what your talking about i know nothing about oil.

Is there really a whole lot of difference between the ttwo to even worry about it?

2001 F150 Supercrew 4.6 V8 use it mostly just everyday driving

been using conventional motorcraft 5w30 changing it every 3k

The book says to use 5w20 synthetic but I bought the truck used and it had a jiffy lube sticker on the windshield so my guess is the previous owner probally didn't use the motorcraft 5w20. Ive been using motorcraft 5w30 for around 30k miles now but i was wondering if its too thin for the summers...

been using 5w30 should i bump up to 10w30 or even that higher milage oil is it as advertised?

I bought 10w30 to put in this oil change but people have been telling me to stick with the 5w30. With 100k miles should i go thicker?

I was wanting to switch to the 5w20motorcraft instead of the 5w30 motorcraft ive been using. Im getting close to 100k and i bought the truck with 60k and have no idea what someone put in it before me. Do I have to do anything to switch to synthetic or do I just change the oil?

I change my oil every 3k so ill probally just not use the synthetic because of the cost so i should just use 5w30 all year and not 10w30 during the summer
