Is it possible/probable for 5w 30 to throw off VVT in a 5w20 specked vehicle ?
Is whatever controls VVT really that sensitive to such a slightly different weight. Cam phasers.
Would be using 5w30 in a 2015 F150 5.0 liter (35K miles). Likely Penzoil Platinum or Quaker State Ultimate, would probably shear down quickly anyway and be near 20w any way.
Know 5w20 is a stout oil I just believe CAFE drove its implementation more than anything. I like 5w30 or 0w30 but cant bring myself to 5w20
