If you’re not having any problems I would stick with 10w30 at least in the real hot months. Check your owners manual if you have one. Fords recommendations are in there.

There is no difference at all between 5w30 and 10w30 oil when the oil is at operating temperature.

Use what oil is suggested on your oil cap.

Bobistheoilguy.com is a great website to learn about oil seeing as there is a lot of misguidance and wrong information on this subject.

use what the manual says.
