The 6-cylinder 3.0 liter engine in the 2005 Ford Ranger requires 4.5 US quarts of 5W-20 oil along with a new filter. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months when using synthetic oils, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months with conventional oil. Switching to synthetic oil offers benefits such as improved lubrication, longer time between oil changes, and better performance in extreme weather conditions. Thinner synthetic oils flow more easily in cold weather, protecting engine parts from friction and corrosion. The cost for an oil change and new filter typically ranges from $100 to $115 including materials and labor.
Certainly! Valvoline 5w-30 synthetic oil in a 5-quart container is the recommended choice for the 3.0 engine in a 2005 Ford Ranger.
