Default what wt oil
I have a 05 5.4 it has the infamous tick, I was reading some posts that said they were running 5 30 instead of 5 20 should I be also? I run royal purple 5 20 and the tick never goes away engine has 169000 miles and no issues except for the tick. Thanks

I usually stay out of these, but its getting old.....this has been asked over and over. I have nothing but a numb sensation when it comes to oil weight threads.

Did you verify where said "tick" was coming from?
