just changed my oil last night. I was using 5-40 but wally world only had 15-40 so I just got that. The 15-40 sticks something bad! I also noticed that I have less blow by and that the truck is a little louder. When costing in overdrive I can hear the injectors or rocker arms now but before it was almost completely silent. I don't want to Hijack the thread but is that normal.

Any. Doesn't really matter. Ford has already said that the 5w40 synthetic is good for year-round use in our PSD's. The old story about leaking seals, etc. when switching to synthetic is more like an old-wives tale at this point due to the OEM improvements in gaskets and seals. However, if you have a leak before switching, you should take care of that first so as to not lose the more expensive synthetic.
