★ Top Answer
The 2001 Ford Taurus is equipped with a 3.0 L V6 engine that requires 5.5 quarts of 5W-20 Synthetic oil with a filter. Previously, the recommended oil type was 5W-30, but Taurus updated the recommendation. The oil not only helps in keeping the engine clean but also provides lubrication for the moving parts. It is essential to change the oil and filter every 4,500 miles. The price per quart ranges from $8 to $12, making a total cost of approximately $44 to $55 to fill the 5.5 quarts needed for the car. You can change the oil yourself in less than 15 minutes with tools such as a 16mm socket, filter wrench, ratchet, drain pan, floor jack, funnel, and jack stands.
