5w20 to 5w30
#2
I made the switch to 5W30 several years ago in my cyclone engine. Granted you asked about the coyote engine but the cyclone also calls for 5W20.

Mine hasn't. The 5W20 oil is for the CAFE standards here in the US although its cool too use. The very same Ford engine in Europe as we have here in the US gets recommend 5W 30 oil weight but they don't have CAFE standards.

Using Amsoil 0W30 Signature with their filters on 15K oil change interval.
65K miles on the clock, no tick, no issues.
Put 200K on my 2005 V6er and it was not using any oil when I traded it in.

I personally run Royal Purple 5W30 in my 2014 GT and love it.
I have no tick, no odd sounds, nothing.
Zero complaints here.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions!

The Royal Purple and Amsoil filter were basically tired and rated outstanding. They were the best filters.

Mine calls for 5W-50 as well but I use 5W-40 Royal Purple with a Ford Racing high capacity filter. I have been doing this since my car had 8K miles on it. I have 30K on it now and not a peep. I'm high reving all the time engine braking and accelerating onto the autobahn all the time on the way to the Nurburgring.

Well, the 5W-20 is not for the variable timing. I read that it was used for meeting emission standards. To preserve your warranty, you need to use a 5W-20 oil that meets Fords specifications, or tell them that you do. I've never heard of anyone's warranty being denied because of the oil that they used.
