My Expy lives in the Pacific Northwest where average temperatures in summer usually stay in the 70s with occasional jumps up into the 90s for a couple of weeks. FordTechMakuloco in his YouTube video "This is Why Maintaining the Ford 5.4L 3V Triton Engine is So Important" 5 years ago, he stated that we should be using 5W-30 and not the owners manual recommended 5W-20. He says that the 5W-20 is for CAFE standards reasons. First time I've heard this. I've been doing regular 3000-5000 mile oil/filter changes and using 5W-20. The odometer reads north of 77K. I tow a 3500 lb trailer about 6000-8000 miles per year in northwestern terrain...spring/summer/fall. Thoughts?
