★ Top Answer
Depending on how your 2007 Ford Explorer or Ford Explorer Sport Trac is set up, it may have one of two different engines, each requiring a specific amount and type of oil. The 4.0L 6-cylinder engine needs 5.0 quarts of SAE 5W-30 full synthetic oil, while the larger 4.6L 8-cylinder engine needs 6.3 quarts of SAE 5W-20 full synthetic oil. If you don't have the recommended oils, you can use SAE 5W-40 instead of 5W-30, or SAE 5W-30 instead of 5W-20, but it's not advisable. Using oils with higher viscosities introduces friction and can lead to premature engine wear and failure. It's best to stick with the manufacturer's recommended oil with the lowest weight, even if it means paying a bit more for each oil change in the long run.
