The subject is a 2001 Ford Taurus, 12v OHV Vulcan v-6 engine. Temps down to about 0f a few nights per year, up in the upper 90's at the hottest times. An even mix of city and highway driving, no leaks.
We purchased the vehicle at 55k (fleet vehicle). It now has 67k miles and running with no problems. Oil filler cap specs 5w-20, but considering running 5w-30 as I just think it's a little too thin.
Was considering Pennz dino 5w-30 if I go that route or Pennz dino 5w-20 if I don't. 3k OCI.
Would you move to 5w-30 or stay where I'm at?
thanks for any replies
