I purchased a 1992 F-150 with a 4.9 I-6. The vehicle has 143,000 miles on it and runs well. The service history shows oil changes that include the use of 10W-30, 5W-30, 10W-40 and 20W-50 but never syn...

Are 0W Oils Thick Enough for Use in Hot Weather
I have a 2003 Ford sport trac with a 4.0 V6 engine.  From the first oil change at 3,000 miles I have always used Mobil 1 5W-30. I see you now have a new green top cover 0W-30 (Mobil 1 0W-30 Advanced F...
Mobil 1 0W-30 Advanced Fuel Economy is engineered to offer the same high temperature/high shear viscosity performance as 5W-30 and 10W-30, so it is a good fit for the Florida heat.  You can use it wit...
