Originally Posted By: LeakySeals Its only 4.5 mpg better, 1/2 the HP? best I ever got out of my v10 was 15, ONCE it usually got down around 12-13 unloaded highway. F150 got 22.5 running 70 mph down the interstate. I think the 5.0 has marginally more hp, not the torque though

Originally Posted By: CT8 The V10 is a pretty nice engine but yes big power drinks big gas. Don't get me wrong, I loved it for what it was. But for a guy who had to move a 5th wheel/gooseneck a few times a year who is now going back to college and won't have to move any of those it didn't make...

This past weekend I traded in my 09 F250 V10 for this 13 F150 5.0, its a 2wd, only has 19k on the odo, doesn't get 13 mpg on a bad day vs a good day like the old one lol, changes in life mean I don't need the great big truck anymore the 5.0 is most impressive to me, getting on the interstate...

I'm a ford guy and I can't recommend the trucks with the 5.4 3v engine. Although I don't have experience with them, I've heard some things from people that those 5.7's weren't exactly the best either. I do feel aside from the 5.4's cam phaser issues the ford is better built/manufactured than...

Just bought 7 quarts of the 5w20 for my 09 f250 with the v10. We will see, but I predict that the truck will happily roll along with zero issues because of this decision. Why not motorcraft? its cheaper and meets all specs, will because I am bored with my otherwise utilitarian life and wanted a...

I used whatever oil was on sale when I could afford it when I really poor. Now I use synthetic changed every 10k, because evidently it makes people sad.

I am fully aware of the heritage dealio, my opening statement was a bit of [censored] as when I asked questions about the truck on a ford site all I got was "its not an 04"

I got a new to me 04 F150 Heritage (people on the ford forum are still debating that its an 04, but trust me, its an 04, don't ask me how, a good magician never reveals his secrets) anyway, its a 4.2L V6 with a 5 speed manual, 2wd, just the way I like it. Anyway, I have come to you all with...

Yesterday while in Farmington New Mexico my truck needed a quart of oil added, the nearest place (and shortest line) was an autozone, as I went for m Pennzoil High Mileage I saw something new (to me) Pennzoil Pure Plus Platinum High Mileage in the 5w30, I didn't snap a picture, but I'm not...

I faithfully change the royal purple in my truck every 2k

My 2 cents if its burning oil due to sludge, run a good oil you can get for cheap and don't worry about it till it either dies or you can have it rebuilt. Any difference an oil is going to make in the cleanliness of that engine now that its already dirty is going to take a lot of short oci's...
