Can you use 5w30 synthetic instead of factory 5w20 in your 2003 ford expedition 5.4?
NOIf you want to use synthetic then use 5w20 as recommended by the manufacture, unless 5w30 is an option as outlined in your owner's manual. They manufacture and sell 5w20 synthetic. With synthetic you can extend you oil change intervals to from 5,0000 to 10,000 miles depending on how and where you drive.

What type of oil does a 2002 Honda accord ex 3.0 liter V6 take?
Honda specifies 5W20. I'd personally put 5W30 in it. They specify the thinner oil in order to comply with government regulations. But in reality, if you drive your car in temperatures over about 10degrees celsius (50 fahrenheit) then the 5W20 won't cut it. Use 5W30 if you want your engine to live a long time. On the flip side, if your warranty isn't over yet, I'd stick with 5W20. Just incase something goes wrong and Honda needs proof of oil changes.
What happen if your car takes 5w30 and you put in 5w20?
And why in the world would you do that? They both cost the same amount. You may void the manufactures warranty. Do not use any other weight than the weight recommended by the manufacture of your vehicle.
Type of oil for 2002 Nissan Altima?
Go with fully synthetic 5W30 (year-round). My Altima has 225K miles and I never had a problem with the car. During extremely cold winter months, I've used fully synthetic 5W20. I recommend Valvoline or Mobil1.
