  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I have a 2012 5.0
Is it ok to use 0w-20 instead of the 5w-20 oil for the winter?

Depends on what kind of climate you are in. In the southern U.S. 0w20 would not be needed. In Canada 0w20 may be better.

The manual does not list that oil, but they do state this:
For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of
a viscosity grade SAE 5W-30 (ACEA A5). However, if the engine oil
is not available in your country, select the proper engine oil using
the engine oil viscosity chart.

Is this oil you have on hand and want to use up? I would consider mixing it 50-50 with the right viscosity of the same brand.
