5W-20 Motor Oil

[BCNU]

Hope someone can answer a question for me. I have a new F250 truck with a V10 on order and I was looking at the service manual and it calls for 5W-20 oil and no others. My question is that I use Schaeffers 5w30 snythetic blend in the truck I currently own and was wondering if this would work in my new truck. I really would like to use Schaeffers brand oil but they do not list a 5W-20 on their web site.Is anyone on here currently using anything differnt than the 5w-20 in their fords. Thanks in advance for any info !!

Doesn't Shaeffers make a new 5W20? I thought they did.

We have an 03’ F250 5.4L at my work and I have an 04’ F150 5.4L and I use Pennzoil 10w30 in both of them. My boss has an 04’ F150 5.4L and he uses Mobil 1 5w30 in his. There is some guy on here that goes by Schmoe and he is from Ok and he has shown some good used oil analysis on his 5.4L using I think and mix of Mobil 1 10w30 with 15w-50. I think his truck is an 01’ or 02’

You will be just fine using a 5w30.

Heck, I'm using 5w40 in my '99 F150 with the related 4.6l V8. (although I likely will not be after running for a year due to fuel mileage losses).

This is great news that they have the 5W-20 now. I was really wanting to stay with Schaeffers, I really love their products!!
