★ Top Answer
The 2013 Ford Explorer recommends using either SAE 5w-20 or 5w-30 fully synthetic motor oil with a 5.0-quart capacity. You can purchase these oils at various retail locations, auto parts stores, or online from reputable sellers, with prices ranging from $2.54 to $12.86 per bottle. If you opt for professional oil change services, expect to pay an extra $57 to $145 for labor. Consider buying a funnel priced between $1 and $4 to prevent spills. It is advised to change the oil every 10,000 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first.
