Which grade of oil is best for a 1999 ford f150 4.2 liter?

The best oil for a 1999 Ford F-150 with a 4.2L engine depends on your climate and driving conditions, but generally, you should use 5W-20 oil. This is usually the grade recommended by Ford for that engine and year.

However, always check your owner's manual. It will have the most accurate and up-to-date recommendation for your specific truck. The manual will often specify both the weight and type of oil (conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic).

Using a different weight oil could lead to poor engine performance or even damage. While 5W-30 might be acceptable in hotter climates, sticking to the manufacturer's recommendation is always the safest bet.
