The 2004 Ford Explorer comes with either a 4.0L V6 engine, which needs 5 quarts of SAE 5W30 oil, or a 4.6L V8 engine, requiring 6 quarts of SAE 5W20 oil. Keeping your engine properly lubricated with oil is crucial for maintaining its internal parts, reducing wear, and preventing damage. An oil change for your Explorer typically costs between $40 to $50 for labor and $70 to $80 for parts. It is recommended to change your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. If you notice increased engine noise or knocking, it's time for an oil change.

Should I go with the standard 5W-20 oil or is it better to opt for high mileage oil? My truck has 140,000 miles on it, but it runs like it's practically brand new since I just acquired it.
