Thumbs up New to trucks

I just purchased a 1990 Ford F150 Lariat 2X4 and I am wondering what oil I should put in it. It has 120K miles. Thank you!

engine?

i'd start with a 10w-30 weight. if you notice any excessive leaking or burning, then you may wanna think about going to something thicker like a 10w-40. i think all 3 of the possible engines in your truck take 6 quarts.

if you're asking about brand or synthetic vs. non, check out this section:

LOTS of good reading there!
