Use what Ford specs. MC 5w-20 meets the Ford Spec. 5w-30 does not. Why put yourself in a position if an issue comes up and they use the oil weight as an out.
Even though there is no problem using 5w-30 why use it?
I do admit the only reason Ford specs as alot of other manufacturers now do, 5w-20 is due to CARB fuel economy and emission standards. They still spec it so use what they spec.
