Welcome to FTE!

I think that this question is prolly better answered in the Oil and Lubrication Forum.

My .02.


Personally I like to stick to the Motorcraft 5-20 and a Motorcraft filter for my 02 F-150, and Castrol 5-30 Gtx and a motorcraft filter for the wifes Taurus.

Ok that's cool, I'll check it out.

But I stated the question here as I wanted only replies from people with the 97 to 03 trucks. My bad, sorry, I should have noted that.
