0w40 synthetic?
got some Petro-Canada Duron 0w40 full synthetic oil for a song. CAn I use it in my 2005 Explorer 4.0L SOHC? I am currently usinmg 0w30 synth. at $15.00/L (amsoil),and ford filters of course. My local Ford dealer told me 0w30 is ok for these engines, but i don't know about the 0w40. Petro-Canada makes good oil, the company i work for uses it in all our trucks.

The modular engines are pretty particular about the oil used in them from all I've read and seen.

ya, you're right, too expensive to blow up to save a few bucks on some oil. I'll stick with 0w30. Manual says 5w30, the 0 is easier for the winter on cold starts.It's regularly -20 to -30C up here in winter Brrr!
