Ford calls for 5W20 in that engine, but Castrol Edge 5W30 will be fine.
 
Hmm...

All my cars are the same.

Oil: Supertech
Trans: Supertech Dexron
P/S: Supertech Dexron
Coolant: Supertech 50/50
Diffs Supertech...
Brakes Supertech DO3

The only thing that gets something special is the bike. It gets M1 15w50

Other then that I buy in bulk and keep my garage well stocked so i don't have to worry about going out when i want to do a oil change.. I do 3K miles between oil changes..
