Can you use 10w 40 oil in 05 Ford Fiesta?

A 2005 Ford Fiesta's recommended oil weight depends on the climate and the specific engine. While 10W-40 *might* be acceptable in some cases, it's not guaranteed and probably isn't the ideal choice.

Ford's owner's manual is the definitive source for the correct oil weight and specification for your specific 2005 Fiesta. Consult the manual to determine the recommended viscosity (like 5W-30 or 10W-30) and the API certification (like SN or SM). Using the wrong oil weight can affect engine performance and longevity. Using an oil that's too thick (like 10W-40 in a car designed for 5W-30) could lead to increased engine wear.

In short: Check your owner's manual. Don't just rely on general advice.
