New car and still breaking it in. I have a stock of PP 5-30 on hand which I must use or trade.
Can I safely run the 5-30 in the Fusion 2.5 I4 or must I get 5-20 in this critter.
Thanks in advance for your guidance.

The thicker is better mindset would tell you go ahead. I can't see it hurting. Me? I stick to the owners' manual through warranty. I am running Mobil 1 0W-30 in a 77 truck that calls for 10W-30
You're still under warranty, use what the factory recommends. At the very least wait for warmer weather before using up the thicker oil.
Having learned its lesson early on, Ford has continued to innovate and respond to the needs of its customers. In 1993, the company made it first foray into a more environmentally friendly ethanol-burning vehicle. In 1997 it started making taxicabs that run on natural gas.
Recently a survey by the Automobile Association of America approximated that 32 percent of drivers have driven when they were too tired to keep their eyes open. A previous study estimates that 16.5 percent of deadly accidents are the result of tired drivers. A brand new security system from Ford hopes to address these surprising statistics. Ford Lane Keeping System to debut on 2013 Fusion. Now it remains competitive in the electric-powered vehicle market, as well as offering consumers an impressive, competitive and popular array of internal combustion cars and trucks.

I believe the 5W-20 here is only for FE benefits. I would not be scared to use a 5W-30 here as long as it has the 945-A approval. Having said that, most products out there with this approval will be 5W-20, but there are some 5W-30's as well.

What kind of crap is this? The man asked a question about oil, not Ford. Must be a salesman. This is the reason I avoid you all like the plague. Such a disconnect from what I am asking. Dang.
Thank you Dave, I didn't need the commerical I already bought the darn thing. I find there is precious little info about this car available. Woulde love to have the factory service manual but $190.00 is a little steep for me. The Haynes is too slick for the purpose I'd use it for.

+1. What he said.
The oil change procedure should be similar for other vehicles with the Duratec 25 I4 engine such as the Ford Escape and Mercury Milan.
