WHAT OIL WEIGHT????

[DIXONBOY]

What oil weight does everyone use in their fe engines. I have some lifter noise and I think its because I used 5w30. I haven't drove it in a wile and I shure thats all it is.

I run 15w-40 Delo 400 or Rotella exclusively in my truck.

[Jarred Hodges]

10-40 castrol

[dbarker]

whatever is in mine is 13 years old... still clean and slick. But i don't run the engine very much right now.

I've got all the stuff for an oil change, Gonna go with Castrol GTX High Mileage. It's some good stuff.

I've got some stuck rings from setting so long, and a little bit of lifter noise. I'm hoping that the sweettastic new oil will solve a bit of the problems. I don't expect the stuck rings to resolve themselves, but ya never know......

i run 10w30.

[convincor]

15w40 Rotella.

5w30 is for modern engines

15-40 Rotella and Lucas motor minder

[speed bump]

5w30 in the winter if it looks like its going to be cold 10w30 otherwise, 10w-40 in the summer.

The oil itself isnt going to solve the problem........... might mask it.............but not cure it. Give in to the persnickity ways of the Ford my young jedi.

15W-40 Rotella. In everything I own.

[Dragon]

P.S. every place the Rotella leaks the outside of the engine will be clean.

10w-40 Pennzoil

15w-50 Mobil-1 and change it every 6000 miles. :)
50 weight oil is exempt from the reduced zinc and phosphorous
content, so, it's still got the right amount for non-rollers. :)

Almost impossible to buy 50 weight here in NM. Just not on the shelves except in the speed shops.
