In 2017, all trim levels of the Ford Expedition were equipped with a 3.5 L V6 engine as standard, and there were no alternative engine upgrade options available. This particular engine requires full synthetic 5W-30 motor oil and has a total oil capacity of 6 US quarts, including the filter. To save some cash when buying oil, you'll need to purchase a 5-quart jug and a separate 1-quart jug. The cost of the oil will range between $30 and $40. It is recommended to change the oil every 5,000 miles in this vehicle.
I've been using 10w 40 oil in my 2006 Expedition with a 5.4 engine here in Texas. Recently, I've noticed a rattling noise in the engine, especially when the A/C is on. It sounds similar to a diesel truck. Should I switch to 5w 30 oil, or do you have any other recommendations before I bring it to a mechanic?
Just like with any car, the Expedition needs regular upkeep. You have the option to do your own oil changes, and it's a good idea to do so at least once a year. For the Expedition, you'll need 6 quarts of Motorcraft 5W-30 premium synthetic blend oil. It's important to avoid using the wrong oil to prevent any potential engine damage or premature wear and tear.
