Ford Motor Company reports that the company’s switch from recommending 5W-30 viscosity motor oil to 5W-20 viscosity motor oil has saved 700 million gallons of gasoline since 2001. By reducing load and internal friction, lighter viscosity 5W-20 motor oils reportedly increase fuel economy by a half mile per gallon. In addition, Ford reports its use of 5W-20 oils has reduced carbon dioxide emissions by about one million metric tons a year. Of course you can, but the question should be should you? And the answer to that is NO. Put exactly what the manufactures says to put in this engine. No manufacture recommends 10W-40 anymore. Engines today are built at such close tolerances that the use of this weight oil is a no longer recommended. You fail to mention the year, but more unless the vehicle is faily old, you more than likely should use 5W-30. Look in your owners manual or call a Ford dealer.
