Yep, ford changed their recommendation but the engine hasn't changed as far as I know.
Should be fine, but I wouldn't track the car. If I remember, the 2020's called for 5W20 and if tracked 5W/30. I can't remember as I have used 5W30 from my first oil change at 1K miles.
My oil cap states 5w-30w. I would use that.
My 2020 manual specifies 5w20, but if you track the car, they recommend changing the oil to 5w30 along with the filter, then when you're done racing for the day, to switch back to 5w20 and new filter. So, it's like they're saying either is fine for the engine and I suspect the only reason for going back to 5w20 after racing is to restore your fuel economy. I'm sure the 5w30 results with a little lower mpg than the 5w20 especially if you're taking long freeway drives vs. stop and go city driving. While Ford requires a yearly oil change at minimum (regardless what oil life, etc. says) I had an oil analysis done and was told the oil wasn't even at it's half-life. So once my warranty is over, I plan to use the oil life and mileage as a determining factor (along with my oil analysis report that I'll do each time).
Notice the bathtub-sized drain tub in @Germansheperd 's post. If this is your initial change with the car, highly recommended something of this type. 10 quarts is a lot. It exists the engine rather quickly, initially almost straight out towards the back.
I like the way you think. 45mins got everything out to a drop for me. I made sure the car sat for 5 days so there wasn’t any oil in the engine, then I pushed it out the the garage door.
A LOT comes out and FAST! I kept the drain plug handy when the bathtub drain was filling up just to push into the oil pan to give the drain pan a minute to go down.
