Hi everyone,
I am looking for oil advice on my 1994 Ford F150 A/T 5.0L 4wd with around 154k mi. I am in OH so temps range from 0F in the winter to 100F in the summer. I got the truck for free from my father-in-law when it had about 152k mi. He is not the first owner. I don't know how many miles it had on it when he got it, but he did remark that he doesn't remember ever changing the oil during the time he owned it *yikes* I changed the oil as soon as I got it and put in Castrol 10W-40 conventional. It's going to be due for another change soon which I will probably put off till the weather isn't so butt-cold up here. I would like to put full synthetic in but I have a leaking rear main seal and oil pan gasket to replace, so I may wait until those are fixed before I make the switch. I would be glad for any advice I can get regarding oil brand, type and grade for the truck! thanks!
