Oil question

[pirate air]

my 5.4 went from 310 to 900hp buy using the water. plus i get the hydro-electric car tax deduction.

and you wonder why your drivers heated seat doesn't work.... your pumpin too much voltage bro, your gonna blow the welds off the intake manifold

i routed my coolant lines to my headlights to keep the headlight fluid high...don't want my Silverstars overheating.

umm ok the 5 20 is a thinner oil therefore it will lose psi faster than the 10w30.ive used 10 30 in every car ive ever driven and they have outlasted (the same car) with 5w20.its only one grade thicker .where i live its 100 during the day and 100 at night.and if you read the manual it says 10w30 is fine for the temp ranges im in.5w20 falls about at 90 degrees.and all this was after i took it to ford and they told me to run thicker oil. because thats what i originally thought was that there was something wrong so i took her in and they said it was just too light of an oil for where i live.

If this is the case, I'd be worried if it took a different/thicker oil viscosity then what was recommended by the manufacture to turn off an oil light that I'm guessing was turned on from lower than desired oil pressure. Sounds like a "band-aid" fix. For whatever reason Ford chose 5w20 for the 5.4/6.2 is completely speculative, but the fact is, 5w20 is what the 6.2 calls for. If your 6.2 has a hard time building oil pressure when using 5w20, then there is something internally wrong with the engine; or, if you are managing to get your oil that hot, your engine must be on the brink of a melt down, not to mention the oil must be chemically broken from the extreme heat making it useless at any psi. I have a hard time believing a Ford dealer suggested this as a "fix".[/QUOTE]


I agree 100% and REALLY have a hard time believing a Ford Dealer suggested this.

wow i cant believe how retarded you guys really are.and i thought you guys were actually smart here

 

[chevyeater6.2]

ok so heres what im gonna do.im gonna drop my oil and dump some 5w20 in her and when the oil light comes on im gonna go balls out and when my engine seizes ill have ford come to you guys to buy me a new engine hows that sound? i mean that sounds fair to me because all you guys claim to know all about the mechanics of an engine right? now that i remember this is why my last account here got screwed up because you guys were a bunch of *****. my old account was dodgehunter.and by what you guys say i should dump 15w40 in my 6.4 diesel right?

wow you guys are soo full of yourselves its funny.go to a dealer and they will tell you.i live in california and its hot during the summer here.so the thin oil (5w20) becomes thinnner the hotter it gets. why dont you guys understand this its simple physics.

FSM06 and TeamFordRaptor are both "dealers"
