Is it ok that a Ford dealer just changed the oil in my GT with 5W-50?

I'm going back in tomorrow and they're going to change the oil out to 5W-20 for me.
Awesome.

Oil's been changed out, and they're giving me my next oil change for free to make up for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the replies and opinions.. Now I can start start asking about some mods I have my eye on.

A check under the hood would've answered your question long ago. It's on the hood sticker along with a couple of other specs

For what its worth the oil cap on the 2013 I looked at today says 5-50 for oil weight and that Ford recomends full synthetic for oil type.
