The 2005 Ford Explorer requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil with a 5-quart capacity to keep its internal parts lubricated and free from dirt and impurities, ensuring smooth operation. An oil change for your Explorer typically costs between $40 and $50 for labor and $80 to $90 for parts. It is recommended to get an oil change every 5,000 to 7,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. Indications that it's time for an oil change include engine ticking, transmission issues, idling shakes, exhaust smoke, decreased fuel efficiency, and the illumination of the Check Engine or Oil Change lights.
