I really do not think you would notice a lot in mileage.I would maybe just put fresh stuff in that it calls for.....that is a newer truck....just my 2 cents worth.

Don't think that you would see any measurable mileage change.

However, you may wish to check with Ford as to whether there is a different viscosity range recommended for your region.
