What type of oil you put in your Tribute?
2003 used Tribute with over 140,000 miles.
Ford Duratec 3.0L V6 engine
I bought it a year ago and have no clue what type of oil was used in it.
Currently, I am using Castrol GTX Trishield 10W-30 conventional oil.
I live in a hot tropical climate with ZERO cold weather.
I am wondering if I should try and get some expensive 5W-30 or 5W-20 synthetic oil now?

Thanks for the reply.
I was asking because my vehicle is out of warranty and has HIGH mileage of over 140,000 miles on it. My climate is VERY HOT and humid and tropical.
I thought those factors would play a role in my choice of oil. I guess not?
If I have any loose gaskets or engine bearings then the 5W-20 will make it known.
