What engine is in the F150?

Thanks everyone for your help and advice. I went with the 0W-30 ESP. I will retest and post when the time comes. Thanks again.

Not sure...the fuel dilution wasn't horrible and it still sheared down.

I had to make the call, so I bought some mobil ESP 0W 30. Having the oil changed tomorrow. I’m going to retest the mobil and see how it does. I sure do appreciate all the advice and help.

Hello First oil analysis on my F-150. 26,000 miles total. I haven't changed the oil yet. I live in SC. Nearly all trips are 10 miles or under, except a 800-mile trip a few months ago—lots of idle time. I am going to change the oil brand, but I have no idea what brand to use. I have always...
