Engine oil additives

I am a new member but not a new Ford owner. I currently have 1999 Contour, 2004 Taurus SES, 2008 Taurus SEL and 2001 Ranger XLT. The recommedned oil is 5W-20. What oil additives are recommended for high-mileage vehicles? The Ranger has 175K miles and is still going strong.

Hi seeker48m welcome to FTE the BEST of the rest.

You may want to check out the site's tech forums for answers to your questions. I suggest you start your search at this link,,, Oil and Lubrication - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

FTE has a local chapter for Indiana members which you can find here,,, Indiana Chapter - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Visit the IN chapter, introduce yourself, meet other Ford owners and most important JOIN your local chapter.

Great to have you onboard!

I figure whatever oil that got you to 175K is doing just fine. Your going to find a whole lot of 'advice' here, but I'd say you're fine with what you're using.
