Depending on the trim level you selected for your 2004 Ford Expedition, it could be equipped with either the 4.6L V8 or the 5.4L V8 engine. No matter the engine size, both require 6.0 quarts of SAE 5W-20 full synthetic oil. While you can temporarily use SAE 5W-30 if necessary, it's not advisable in the long run due to the possibility of increased friction from the thicker oil causing premature engine wear and potential early failure. To maximize your Expedition's lifespan, it's recommended to opt for the manufacturer's specified oil with the lowest weight numbers, even if it means spending a bit extra on each oil change.
