What oil type does a 1999 ford crown victoria use for motor oil?

i hear that it uses 5w-20, according to a few websitesWhat oil type does a 1999 ford crown victoria use for motor oil?
Since it was an old car I recommend 10W30.What oil type does a 1999 ford crown victoria use for motor oil?
As Mark S stated, the 5W-20 recommendation is more recent. Ford did make it retroactive, though. Believe it or not; even though my brother-in-law's 1995 F150 once called for 5W-30, Ford's new recommendation is 5W-20! He has over 100,000 miles and my recommendation was the original factory recommendation of 5W-30. He actually chooses to use Amsoil AMO 10W-40 synthetic: http://www.amsoil.com/lit/databulletins/鈥?/a> Good luck with your decision. My Amsoil website: http://www.number1synthetic.com

5W20 did not come out til 2001!! 5W30 under 100,000 miles 10W30 over 100,000 miles
Use 5W-30 during colder climates and 10W-30 during warmer climates.
loke in your owners mauel it will tell you.
we used 5w-30 in our police cars until they went over 100,000 miles in than we went to 10w-40 with no problems.
Most use 5w-30.
Mark has your answer.. Grey
