Don't they call for 5w20? V10's have very tight clearance in the mains & rods. Amsoil is good too.. It is too late Bill
It is hard for a 40w to get to your valve train. Now your truck is only going to last 250,000

What Ford really needs to do is offer a F series pickup with a 300HP TWO STROKE engine in it.
IS there any production car right now with a two stroke in it. It would be an awesome thing. Since I got my new E-Tec I have been thinking it they can make a outboard two stroke that gets better fuel economy than the 4 strokes, has cleaner emissions with out a cat or anything like that that why can't they put one in a car or truck? Oil injected they would have lots more room to fit it and weight would not be as big of an issue.

even more humor out of this thread....
one is saying it will and one is saying it won't....
one is talking about 1.6 60' in a t'bird and another about datalogging on the sct !!!
I KNOW the sct will data log...
I had a 2002 lincoln LS that had the v8 in it
(was a GREAT handling sister to the tbird) but 1.6's were out of the question in that dog
but depends on what he's done to his tbird -
if he put a v-10 in it bet you'd all say it could do it
and know there are supercharger kits readily available for the small v8's in them
but it's doable... reasonable...
NOT like some other statements spouted by certain gas engine posers

its how you use your truck. deisels are for use everyday built to go a million miles work hard everyday, v10 for ocassional towing and trips with the family with lots of room thats why i got my v10. i have 5 vehicles total and they all have their purpose. gas mileage i dont care about because dont put lot of miles on it. it would break the bank if it were my daily driver though

That's why 2 stroke engines have not been highway legal since the '80s (that's last street legal 2 stroke production engine I can remember...and that was in a Yamaha motorcycle).
