I got free case of 5w-20 oil but most people say it is like water, Should I use this in my 140,000 mile 4.0? I thought maybe i can use it this winter then go back to the 10w30 or 10w40... What do ya think?

Thanks,
Josh
 
I dont think it will be thick enough to give you adequate oil pressure....so no I wouldnt use it. Even with 10w30 in my 145k 4.0 My oil pressure is on the low side of ok in the summer.
 
Ask me this question when the overnight low is -20*F, and the daytime high is +20*F. Then again, that is for only a few weeks a year in this area.

Put the stuff on Craigslist, buy some 10W-30 and a "NAPA Gold" filter.
 
Your pistons would slap themselves silly... :D
