Yes, but only if 5W-20 is not available in your area. I would stick with the 5W-20! I am currently using Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20 in the Stang and German Castrol 0W-30 in the Crown Vic (4.6L 2V V8).

Mobil 1 here too. I would not use anything thicker, like 5w-30. With tolerances so close in these motors it could cause damage overtime. Our mechanic at work was putting 10w-40 or 10w-30 in our V-10's. The first truck that was supposed to have 5w-20 in it started going thru a quart ever 500 miles.
