Hi there,
Today I took my car to the dealer and had it serviced. He put Castrol Magnatec 5W-20 instead of 5w-30. He said that Ford told them to use that from now on. I don't believe him. I think he made a mistake. Am I in any trouble?
It's a 2010 model with 115227 klm on it.
From what I've read on the CEG (Ford Contour Group) from a knowledgeable Ford tech, the new Ford 5W-20 is a Group III base stock, SL grade oil. Ford is not only recommending it for all new cars, but also issued Tech. Bulletins stating that it is now the perfered oil for most engines that originally called for 5W-30. Aside from being a high quality oil (close to synthetic), AutoZone sells it $1.49 a qt.
