I thought ford kept the 4.0 motor using 5w30 because 5w20 was too thin for the oil pump used in the 4.0?
I was reading around when trying to figure out if I should run my 3.0 on 5w20 as the newer engines run...but I'm staying at 5w30. It works and works well (as far as I can tell).
Edit: just read that Granite has an '04 4.0....probably should listen to him...
