OK, normally, I'm a stickler for following manufacturer's recommendations. But my son's 2010 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0 V8 specs 5W-20 and I don't stock that in my garage. I've got about 100 quarts of synthetic to use up so I am not going out to buy that oil. Period.
I stock 0W-20, 0W-30 and 5W-30, mostly in M1 and PP. I am going to use oil on my shelf. So, should I mix or go with 0W-20 or any of the above? IMHO, I believe this venerable Ford V8 would run fine on any of these oils but I'm not a Ford guy so, I'll listen to your recs.
