5w-30 is fine, it was recommanded on the 2000 model with the same engine.
ford changed to 5w-20 because it gives better mileage from fuel.
I've tried both 5w-30 and 5w-20 full synthetic, i like 5w-20 more, quieter and better mileage. (but it supposed to be less protection with the 5w-20 especially at high RPM because is thinner)
