The oil type and how much oil you'll need for your 2017 Ford Explorer depend on which engine model you have. The base 2.3L 4-Cylinder requires 5.7 US quarts of synthetic 5W-30 oil. The 3.5L V6 needs 6 US quarts of synthetic 5W-20 oil, while the turbocharged 3.5L V6 also requires 6 US quarts of 5W-20 oil. Regardless of the engine, you should get an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles.

XO-5W30 in 5.7 quarts or approximately 5.4 liters is recommended for the Sport model equipped with Twin Turbo Chargers. It is advised to opt for Full Synthetic oil rather than a blend due to the high heat generated by Turbo Chargers.
