What oil viscosity for a 1994 ford f150 5.0?

The recommended oil viscosity for a 1994 Ford F-150 with a 5.0L engine depends on the climate where you live. Your owner's manual is the best source, but generally:

* For warmer climates (above 32°F or 0°C): 10W-30 is a common and often recommended viscosity.

* For colder climates (below 32°F or 0°C): 5W-30 is a better choice to ensure easier starting in cold weather.

Always check your owner's manual for the manufacturer's specific recommendation. The manual will likely specify the viscosity grades and the API (American Petroleum Institute) service classifications (like SG, SH, SJ, etc.) Using the wrong viscosity or API classification can harm your engine.
