I have a 2005 ford escape. Just making sure that 5w20 is the right oil?

Hi, I have a 2005 ford escape. Just making sure that 5w20 is the right oil?

Sounds about right.

That's what mine says on the fill tube, or said on the fill tube, car got stolen last week.

New lighter weight oils are becoming the standard, Some new Toyotas use 0w-20 and SAE has approved a new SAE 16 weight oil.

Actually check page 278 of this http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/catalog/owner_guides/05204og5e.pdf

Yes. The Escape I had the manual recommended synthetic oil.
