What grade oil for a ford 1997 f-150 4.6L?

The recommended oil grade for a 1997 Ford F-150 with a 4.6L engine depends on the climate where you live. Your owner's manual is the best source for this information, but generally:

* For warmer climates: 5W-30 is usually recommended.

* For colder climates: 10W-30 might be preferable.

However, always check your owner's manual. The manual will specify the exact viscosity grade recommended by Ford for your specific truck and operating conditions. Using the wrong viscosity can harm your engine. The manual will also specify the correct oil type (conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic).
