I run 10W-30 year round here in Florida. The 10W low temp ratingis good to cranking temps of 15°F or so--coldest it's ever been outdoorshere in 34°, never less than 45° in my garage...

im sure the only reason ford recemends 5w20 in allmost every motor is to satasfy CAFE standards(fuel milage, gas guzzler tax ect) i dont think it matters much but i switched to 5w30.
