SAE (society of automotive engineers) sets the rating for the oil. Gasoline engine oil is given a "s_" rating. SE would be a rather old rating as the current is SMSAE (society of automotive engineers) sets the rating for the oil. Gasoline engine oil is given a "s_" rating.

SAE rating
SAE 30 SF or better rating
Yes you can.
Qoute from autoeducation.com Oil weight, or viscosity, refers to how thick or thin the oil is. The temperature requirements set for oil by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) is 0 degrees F (low) and 210 degrees F (high). Oils meeting the SAE's low temperature requirements have a "W" after the viscosity rating (example: 10W), and oils that meet the high ratings have no letter (example SAE 30). An oil is rated for viscosity by heating it to a specified temperature, and then allowing it to flow out of a specifically sized hole. Its viscosity rating is determined by the length of time it takes to flow out of the hole. If it flows quickly, it gets a low rating. If it flows slowly, it gets a high rating.
the higher the SAE number, the thicker the oil and higher the viscosity of the oil.
ISO = 37 SAE Engine Oil = 15W SAE Gear Oil = 75W
20W-50 is equal to Sae 90 W.
SAE 40 has a higher viscosity.
SAE 40 has a higher viscosity.
I believe Ford started using ( SAE 5 W 20 ) engine oil with the 2001 models V - 10 gas engine 2000 and older V - 10 gas engines used ( SAE 5 W 30 ) Does it not indicate the oil grade on the oil fill cap ?
SAE 30 motor oil if the temperature is between 30 & 75°F.Colder use SAE 10 oil.Warmer use SAE 40 oil.
