The 2013 Ford Explorer needs an Automatic Transmission Fluid that is compatible with Dexron VI. You can purchase a gallon of Valvoline from O'Reilly's for about $30 that meets this requirement. It's recommended to change the transmission fluid in your Ford Explorer every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. However, if you notice issues like strange noises during driving and shifting, a burning smell from under the hood, leaks under the engine, or gears slipping, you should consider flushing the fluid sooner.
The oil required is of the 5W-20 variety.
The 2013 Ford Explorer requires fully synthetic Dexron transmission fluid.
