10W40, oh god.

I did a little Googling, and 5W30 is what Ford recommended for your car: http://www.revbase.com/BBBMotor/TSb/...adPdf?id=44867

Since you say the car is still in really good running shape, I'd put in something no thicker than 5W30 at the next change, and maybe even thinner. (My Subaru manual calls for 5W30 and I use 0W30 for its better flow at cold temperatures.)
