Cars with the VCT system from Ford use oil pressure to change the cams position, these can get gunked up by to thick oils, causing a $400+ repair job. That's the cost on a Escort, a Mustang or F-Series will be over double that. Even running 5w30 on some 5w20 rec'd engines have issues.
Just an FYI to any Ford owners that have a VCT system. Many of the VCT Zetec guys have known this for years.
