Hello everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment if you do. Cannot believe I have been changing oil on my cars this long with out knowing about the BITOG community! I'm brand new and happy to join.
I recently purchased a 2001 Ford Expedition 5.4 V8 trition. It has just under 250k miles. I got it from the original owner. He only used pennsoil 5/30 (manufacture requires 5/20) just plain old regular oil. I have the service records and the car runs great.
I wanted to switch over to a full synthetic and have been told it's a bad idea as its run only on basic oil this long. To switch would cause problems. Is this true? Also, if I switch should I switch to the correct weight?
Thanks for the wealth of knowledge on this website and any feedback!!!
