5W-30
through 99 is was 5w-30 then for 2000 it changed to 5w-20
and all it gets you is 1 mpg highway
Was there a TSB issued? It looked like 5W-30 on the 2000 Owners' Manual to me.

i dunno but the indow sticker on my 99 said 28 mpg highway and the window sticker from a 2000 SVT said 29 and we atributed that to the oil, because if the vehicles are more fuel efficient then you can have more suvs
manufacturers need to have a balance to sell suvs, they need to sell so many emissions friendly cars to off set the non friendly cars, so that is why we have the focus, and to also get people into the brand so that down the road they will buy the suv or lincoln because that is where they actually make money
