Type of oil does a ford Sabre mercury 2000?
This depends more on where you are and how you drive than the manufacturer. Most temperate zones have you use a 10W30 in the summer months and a 5W30 in the winter months. Using this as a guideline you should be pretty safe.

That would be a bad ideal. That engine has a roller valve train in it and if you use a heaver oil weight then 5w30 it will slowly burn the valve train up. In the summer hot months it is safe to use 10W30 weight oil in that engine. But the OEM specs. recommend 5W30 weight in the winter months.

Can you use 10w30 for Dodge Caravan?
Yep, that's usually not a bad weight of oil. The caravan usually calls for 5W30, 10W30, or the newer ones use 5W20. If yours calls for 5 or 10w30, it's safe to use. However, if it calls for 5w20, it's usually safer to stick with that and don't go much heavier. Heavier oil will flow more slowly than the lighter oil so you want it to have the right viscosity or you will have less protection in your engine,

5W30 OIL I have read that in The hot months it is safe to run 10W30 weight. The reason you can't use heavy weight oil is because of the roller valve train. it will be to thick to lube the valve train and cause it to fail/burn up.

What type of oil do you put in a Briggs 5.5 HP Engine?
10-28-09 What the heck is 6.02 oil? A safe bet is always SAE straight 30 weight, heavy duty. Detergent is ok. Briggs synthetic 5w30 is best, but expensive. Using 5w30 or 10w30 auto oil is iffy, it doesn't handle heat very well. If you must, make sure your engine is well ventilated and clear of debris. It will also void your warranty in a high temp application...
Should you use 10w 30 or 5w30 oil in a 95 Ford F 150 with the inline 6 cylinder?
Use what the owner's manual says. If you don't have one, you can find one at a salvage yard sometimes. It is safe to use 10w30 until you find out for sure. 10w30 is heavier oil for hotter temp. 5w30 is usually good all year round on newer vehicles, specially in winter. But if you have excessive consumption use 10w30. in older vehicles I do not recommend 5/30. i used it in my 91 van v-6 and got better gas milage, changed oil every 3000 miles for 2 oil changes then oil light came on having low oil pressure. went back to 10/30 in winter and 10/40 in summer and have not had a problem since.
