Can you run 5W-20 in an older American V8 without damaging the cam and lifters, and non-roller rocker arms?
I read that 5W-20 produces excellent UOA's, but all I can find are UOA's for newer vehicles.
I do a lot of short trip driving, and I purposely have to go out of my way to drive longer routes just to fully warm up the engine. Maybe 5W-20 would do well in such a situation?
The vehicle in question is an '83 Ford F250 with a 460 V8. 103,000 miles.
Thanks, in advance, for your thoughts!
