* For moderate climates: 5W-20 is usually recommended.
* For colder climates: 5W-30 might be preferable for easier cold-weather starting.
* For hotter climates: 10W-30 might be a better choice.
Crucially: Always check your owner's manual. The recommended viscosity (the number after the "W") can vary depending on the specific engine your Grand Marquis has (4.6L or other). Using the wrong viscosity can damage your engine. The manual will also specify the oil type (conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic).
