The 2008 Ford Explorer requires SAE 5w-20 fully synthetic motor oil to maintain its engine performance. It has a 5.0-quart oil capacity for the 4.0-liter V6 engine. The price for a one-quart bottle ranges from $3 to $43 and can be purchased at most auto stores or online. When changing the oil, begin by draining the old oil from the reservoir using the drain valve nozzle. If you opt for a professional mechanic to change the oil, expect to pay between $40 and $138 for labor. After draining the oil, remove the plastic cap from the reservoir and use a funnel to add fresh oil until it reaches the max fill line.
