...Really Hot Conditions? I would like to know because I live in Mexicali, B.C., Mexico, and here we have an extremely weather (or TOO HOT like 48 C near to 50 C or 120 F or TOO COLD for us like 0 to 5 C or 35 F) obviously we have a little time with nice weather like San Diego, but then comes hot or cold, so I would like to know about which oil type use on my engine 4.7, I heard about 5w30 on cold, and 10w-30 on all the year, but heres comes as I said very Hot, thanks for your answer
 
most vehicles list the type on the oil cap, I have two vans, the ford says 5w 20 the chevy says 5w 30. Stick with the manufactures recommendation. Synthetic cost a little more but wont break down under hotconditionss. Mobil 1 synthetic or Royal Purple are good.
 
Theoretically, a 5W30 and 10W30 are the same viscosity once warmed up. The quality of oil is more important than the thickness, as long as you're using the right weight (5W v/s 10W).

I would go with any full synthetic, Motorcraft Synthetic Blend (yes, you can run Motorcraft in any car), or Pennzoil conventional. Those are some of the best oils you can buy in regards to resisting breakdown.

Yes, oils are different. In most vehicles it really doesn't matter from one brand to another, but in your situation you might as well buy the oils that perform the best in real-world tests, and the above suggestions do that. Also, keep with a 3000-4000 mile oil change interval if you're driving slow in this high heat.

There are a lot of myths out there about oil. Be careful who you listen to.
