I've got a little extra breath so here it goes. I ran rotella 15w-40 for about 15000 miles because it made less noises. It had 215000 miles on it and I run it till it quit. If you want priceless info on oil go to bobistheoilguy.com

Looking for a Henway.
iTrader: (2)
Ok so I have been reading a researching a lot on engine oil and what I need or should run in my 2v 5.4 and there are a lot of mixed awnsers out there and I would really just like to know what's up and what is gonna do the best or be the best for my truck..
I know the recommended is a 5w-20 with a motorcraft filter and I can see understand and will always use a motorcraft filter but what I don't understand the is weight of the oil now in everything I have ever owned I have run a 10w-40 pensoil and a quart of Lucas and after the reading and research I'm not so sure what to do for my first oil change I've heard a lot about Germany ford maufacturs not recommending a 5w-20 because of the wear property not being to par I just want the most outta my truck and would love to hear some options and what some knowledgeable people on these trucks think this is my first F-series truck and I wanna make it last as long as I can seeings how I am stuck paying for it for a long while so let me know what you guys think or what you use and the results you've seen thanks so much God Bless

People who do this for a living (design engines and study oil and engine wear) say use 5w-20. As I said before, millions (if not billions) of miles have been driven with 5w-20 without any issues due to the oil itself.
I would love to see where the German owners manual says what oil to use. 5w-20 has been proven to protect just fine in engines that are spec'ed for it.
Also, keep Lucas out of your engine, only engine oil goes in your engine.
As Tackle said, use 5w-20 and worry about other stuff.
The fact is though the question was answered in your other thread, and apparently you did not agree with the answer. Asking the question again, even if worded differently, will get the same answer, and irk some people tired of reading the same question over and over (especially if from the same person).
