Put the Motorcraft 5w30 blend in and it runs smooth.Quiet.Also added some oil additive.Next I think I will use Shaeffers 7000 series oil.

I wonder why Ford would recommend 5w20 but put 5w30 in the owners manual.

The dealer says 5w20.My manual says 5w30.There is a letter on the change after the manual was printed.Mines an 1998.

I work for Kenworth Trucks and thats all I see is 15-40.I use 15-40 in my old f150 that has 272,000 on it.Rotella I think is your best bet in 15-40.Delo 400 is the other that is common in the heavy duty world.My f150 has a few seeping seals.I think I will go to a high mile oil with seal sweller in it.When I lived in Calif,20-50 was the oil to use.I called Quaker state on an oil question and the guy on the phone said he runs a 15-40 rotella.He had a 2001 5.4 in a f150.

Sorry guys but does anyone know how much oil is needed for the oil change?

It says for sure in your owners manual. Mine has the 97 HD towing package, so mine is 7 quarts. My old man's is 6 without the towing package, but that is also an 04. Just keep adding oil until it appears on the dipstick as full. Not going to be any more than 7 quarts I am sure.
