[QUOTE="cidsamuth, post: 11787166, member: 110091"] Sometimes I wonder whether folks bother reading the current posts before popping in with a new post. There seems to be info that would suggest 5w-50 is okay for the 2013 GT, as least from a warranty standpoint, since the 2013 GT and the 2013 GT Track Pack are mechanically identical. However, Ford has said/done nothing that would indicate it is okay for the 2011 or 2012 GTs. Since there are minor changes to the engine for 2013 (like the oil squirters, as SicShelby09 said), we will probably never really get a definitive answer from Ford. This says nothing about the validity of UNLEASHBEAST's argument; however, it's more about what Ford can claim in the event of an engine failure and less about what's actually best for the engine.
