I have a 2012 Ford Super Duty 6.2L V8 gas motor truck. I’ve been putting in 5W-20 synthetic blend Motorcraft engine oil since I’ve owned it the past year or two.
It’s due for an oil change again soon, I’m just deciding what to go with.
From posts I’ve heard on here that Motorcraft oil is very good for the money. Also it seems people like the Quaker State Ultimate Durability full synthetic oil as well as its a decent oil for the price as well so I am also considering switching to that because I generally like to use full synthetic.
My main concern is that I see the newer Super Duties are now specced to use 5W-30 instead of 5W-20. The engine is exactly the same with no mechanical differences as far as I know. Would I be better off switching to 5W-30 this time or stick with 5W-20 like I’ve been using? I know these motors aren’t super picky but I do want this truck to last me as long as possible.
I’m thinking I’m going to pick up some QSUD 5W-30 unless anyone here thinks otherwise.
