What weight of oil should be used in a 2001 Ford F-150 truck?

The recommended oil weight for a 2001 Ford F-150 depends on the engine and the climate where you live. Your owner's manual is the definitive source. However, generally, 5W-20 is a common recommendation for many 2001 F-150 engines, especially in moderate climates. In hotter climates, 10W-30 might be specified.

You absolutely must check your owner's manual. The manual will specify the correct oil weight and type (conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic) for your specific engine. Using the incorrect weight can damage your engine.
