I had a coupon for a free oil change and tire rotation from the Ford dealer and my 1988 Mustang GT needed both of those so I took it in.
They put 5W20 in it. It has the 5.0 V8.
It's been about 1000 miles.. I've noticed nothing different vs. the 5W30 that was in it before.
The last Ford TSB I saw regarding 5W20 only recommended 5W20 for Mustang 5.0s as old as 1993, nothing older.
I wasn't planning to do this experiment but since the oil's in there now, why not?
