The oil recommended for the 2005 Ford Explorer is 5w-30, except for the 4.6L V8 engine which requires 5w-20. Using high-quality oil is essential to keep the engine running smoothly. Failure to maintain the proper oil can lead to engine issues, such as a burning smell or knocking noise. Additionally, poor gas mileage may occur. It is important to change the oil between every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to prevent engine problems.
