The 2018 Ford Transit Van requires 5.9 quarts of SAE 5W-30 oil for its engine. Ford recommends using full synthetic oil for oil changes. There are two main types of oil: conventional, which is petroleum-based, and synthetic, which is laboratory-engineered and offers better lubrication and protection than conventional oil. Synthetic oil lasts longer than conventional, so it only needs to be changed every 7,500 miles instead of every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. It's important to check your oil at least once a month to ensure it is clean and free of debris and any signs of damage that may cause it to darken in color.
