That's the wrong oil.....s/b 5w-30. I would make them change it again. Which dealership did u go to?....Dave Smith, West Herr, Basil?

Any issues with running a 10w-30 in the Ecoboost? Especially here in Texas where we really don't have cold winters, but have hot humid summers (late May - late September) it would over better protection as the oils break down to base weight.
I work in the oil industry and know that the wider range multi viscosity oils have more plasticizers in them vs. oils with a lower vis range (5w-30 vs. 10w-30).
In 90F weather i am sure the pour rate of 5w vs. 10w would be negligible. I did not see anything in the manuals discussing the use of 10w-30 as an option. In other vehicles i have seen this as an option for warmer climates.
Thanks.

First oil change I went with mobil 1. I purchased Penzoil Platinum Natural Gas 5-30 the other day while at Walmart for the next oil change. No real reason to change the truck is running fine with the Mobil 1. However I wanted to purchase the walmart super tech full syn made by Warren Preformance Products (WWP). Does anybody here with an EB running Super Tech full syn? I have used it for decades in many other vehicles I have owned without any problems just having a hard time pouring it into my eb at the moment.

Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 + Motorcraft filter went in mine at the beginning of April. Didn't notice much of any difference though from what the dealer I got it from used.

Castrol synthetic all the way, Jimmy.
