When Ford first brought out their 4.6 OHC motor they were tested in taxi cabs. They were specified for 5W-30. The cab company still having older cars around that used 10W-40 used what they had on hand. The 4.6 OHC motor burnt the cam bearings in the head which are part of the head. This story was related to me by a good friend who ran an auto repair shop at the time. My 2 cent. It is your engine. You can do with it as you please BUT if a new vehicle and a warranty is involved you might be left holding a empty bucket with a hole in the bottom of it if you use the 15W-40. Some newer Fords require a 5W-20 oil. I also use this oil in my OLD B&S engine that in their day specified 10 weight oil in the winter and 20 in the summer.
