Stupid me. I thought it was 5W-30. Well, I changed my oil and used Mobil-1 5W-30. I should have used 5W-20. I called Ford and they said unless I was going on a long trip, it should be no problem. I have always used Mobil-1.
Opinions? Should I drain it and put in 20 weight? I don't live in a overly hot climate, 25 Celsius, so I don't think it should be a big deal.

you will be perfectly fine. 5w30 is what i use. my GT likes it better than the 5w20. i was getting some blowby with the 5w20 mobil1 until i switched to 5w30 mobil1. now no blowby. it runs perfect. i wont change back.
You should be fine. In the very warm climates like Hawaii I'd probably run the 5W-30 as well but in Alberta I would stick with the 5W-20 as my full time oil.
If you're really anal about your car like I am you could always drain, the refill. But it will cost you extra $. Your car will run fine with the 5w30. Just becareful about labels in the future!

OOPS! Put in 5W-30 instead of 5W-20
