The 2016 Ford Explorer comes with different engine options requiring specific amounts of oil. The 3.5 liter VCT V6 engine needs 6 US quarts of 5W-30, the V6 Ecoboost engine requires 6 US quarts of 5W-20, and the 2.3 liter Ecoboost I-4 engine uses 5.7 US quarts of 5W-20. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months when using synthetic lubricants, and every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months with conventional oil. Synthetic oils offer advantages such as better lubrication, longer intervals between service appointments, and improved performance in extreme weather conditions. Thinner viscosity oils move more easily in cold weather, providing enhanced protection against friction and corrosion for engine components.
