Can I use 5w30 instead of 5w20 in my Ford?
In 2011, Ford started recommending 5w30 for the turbocharged 3.5 Ecoboost engines, but they haven’t changed the recommendation for the non-turbo duratec. You can run both 5w20 or 5w30 safely on these engines (turbocharged and non-turbo). Both oils will work great.

Do Fords take synthetic oil?
You have a choice when you bring your vehicle in for an oil change at Stuckey Ford. Your vehicle can take conventional (regular) oil or full synthetic oil. Our service team highly recommends full synthetic oil because it better suits your Ford engine and will last longer.
What happens if you put 5w30 in a 5w20 engine?
It won’t cause any problems. 5w30 is thicker than 5w20 in operating temperatures, but that doesn’t mean there will be less oil flow. Oil pump will still pump the oil through the engine, and if thicker oil causes an increase in oil pressure, the oil pump will just bypass some of the oil back into the sump.
How do I know what oil my van needs?
