Hi Folks, I just joined the forum and need some recommendations. I have a 1994 Ford F150, 4X4, 5.8L 351 with 174,000 miles. I have had the truck since new and have always run a "high-tech" (moly) 10W-40 motor-oil that my Dad sold. He retired and closed his business a couple years ago and we have burned through the remaining supply of oil. Due to the recession I lost my work vehicle benefit and I have been forced to bring this truck out of semi-retirement to become my daily driver. The engine has a small oil leak which I can't afford to fix right now and I don't want to do anything to make it worse. I realize there are probably just about as many opinions out there as there are motor oils but I am hoping to get some recommendations and direction on what motor oil(s) would be best for this application. I live in So. Nevada where summer temps frequently push 115-120 degrees. Money is tight so I have to take that into account.
Thanks in advance for sharing your recommendations.
