It will lubricate, but you will use a lot of oil. So check the dipstick frequently. When you are down a quart, pour in quart of the 5w30 correct oil. When you finally get mileage for an oil change, change it to the correct oil and filter.
What does Ford recommend? If you live where it gets COLD, thinner is better. If you live where it gets HOT, stick with the 5W30.
What does it say on the damn oil filler cap?!
My 2004 Focus has a sticker that ways 5W-20. What does the oil sticker day on your car. It should be under the hood somewhere. But then mine has the 2.3 engine which differs from the 2.0 in most Focus models that year.

I use olive oil
- My mechanic put 5w30 oil in my ford ranger instead of 5w20. What could go wrong? Took my 2007 2.3L ford ranger in for an oil change, and they put 5W30 oil in it instead of the 5W20 that is shown in the book. Will this cause any problems, should i call them and have it changed/?

- How come Sen. Warren had to provide evidence of her past, while Dr. Ford didn't? Aren't we supposed to believe all women no matter what? Isn't physical evidence supposed to be a lower form of proof than a woman's testimony? Couldn't Sen. Warren just have cried a lot in a little-girl voice to prove she's part Native American? It's hilarious that libs can't answer this.
- Why did the change oil light just come on in my car after an oil change? We have a 2016 Ford Escape and we just had the oil changed about 1000 miles ago at a Fox Ford near us. The oil light was not on when we went there and was not on after we left. It just came on now with a message saying that the oil needed to be changed. So what is causing this? I know the light doesn't need to be reset because it was not on before the oil change or afterwards until now.
