The choice of oil for the 2010 Ford Ranger depends on the engine size. For the 2.3 L 4-cylinder engine, it is recommended to use 5W-20 synthetic oil, while for the 4.0 L V6 engine, the suggested oil is 5W-30 synthetic for optimal performance. The truck requires 4 quarts with a filter for the 2.3 L engine and 5 quarts with a filter for the 4.0 L engine. Quality engine oil is crucial to maintain engine cleanliness and efficiency. It is advised to change the oil and filter regularly, every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, to prevent damage due to degraded oil.

Those who claim that 5w20 is the incorrect choice are mistaken.

The oil cap on my 2010 vehicle recommends using 5W-20 oil. In the manual for my Altima, it also suggests using 5W-20 oil, but Nissan states that 5W-30 conventional oil is acceptable. Although 5W-20 oil is more costly, I prefer to use it in my car and would not risk using conventional oil.
