It also specs 5w-20, however the forced induction options like the 2.7L and the 3.5L spec 5w-30.
Also worth mentioning is that many (most?) truck applications will feature an oil cooler as part of the factory plumbing. So keeping oil temperature in check while towing is accounted for there.
Fair enough. So let me ask this, isn't shear strength measured on torque? I.e. the force exerted by the piston on the crankshaft during the combustion stroke. Car engines tend to rev higher especially in sports cars, and it's more likely that a thicker oil is ever so less likely to get spun off of things at higher revolutions.
FWIW, my Focus ST had an oil cooler, and obviously the turbo was cooled too. As does my friend's Mustang 2.3L EB.
