★ Top Answer
The 2014 Ford Explorer requires 6 quarts of oil for its engine, and it is recommended to use SAE 5W-30 oil when replacing it. Ford suggests using synthetic oil for optimal engine protection. Synthetic oil offers enhanced protection for the moving parts of the engine, while conventional oil is petroleum-based. With synthetic oil, you can usually extend the time between oil changes to 7,500 miles compared to 3,500 to 5,000 miles with conventional oil. I suggest checking the oil level and condition at least once a month to ensure it is filled properly and free of any debris or signs of burning.

In 2014, the Ford Explorer's two 3.5L engines can hold 6 quarts (or 5.7 liters) of oil, while the smaller 2.0L engine can handle 5.7 quarts (or 5.4 liters) of oil. Ford recommends using premium octane gas for better engine performance with the EcoBoost engines, although it's not mandatory.
