★ Top Answer
When using the 3.0-liter engine in the 2008 Ford Ranger, it holds around 4.3 liters (or 4.5 quarts) of SAE 5W-20 oil. On the other hand, the 4.0-liter engine variant requires about 4.7 liters (or 5.0 quarts) of SAE 5W-30 oil. One key distinction between these oils is that the 5W-20 type flows faster and improves fuel efficiency. As both oils are synthetic, they don't need to be changed as frequently as conventional oils, which typically require a change every 3,000 miles. Following the owner's manual, Ford suggests replacing the oil every 7,500 miles or every 6 months, depending on which milestone comes first. However, if you engage in off-roading, towing, or regularly travel long distances at low speeds, you may need more frequent oil changes. The usual cost for an oil change for a 2008 Ranger ranges from $100 to $130, with labor making up $30 to $50 of that total amount.
