0w20 ?

[frankv64]

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.

FrankV64 I would not think that New Jersey gets that cold. Are you in north jersey. Maybe December to March?

We go down to the teens in New Jersey but I was wondering if it would hurt anything

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.
