In 2008, the Ford Explorer came with a regular 4.0L V6 engine, but Ford also offered a higher-end option with a 4.6L V8 engine. The V6 engine requires synthetic 5W-30 motor oil, while the V8 engine needs synthetic 5W-20. The V6 engine holds 5 US quarts of oil, and the V8 engine holds 6 US quarts, including the filter. It is recommended to change the oil for these vehicles either every 12 months or at 7,500 miles, whichever occurs first.
