Thanks guys.
I'm getting conflicting info on this one - dealer says 5W20 is specified in their shop manual, parts manager (who also owns an SVT Focus) says 5W20, 1-800-FORD-SVT says 5W30, ownwer's manual says 5W30.

Does it REALLY matter? Is there that huge a difference between 5W20 & 5W30?

I've got to stop looking at my service receipts...Just put them away, and if the car blows up, I can just pin it on Ford's lack of consistent answers...
