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.
In 2005, the Ford Explorer offers three engine choices. Both 4.0L V6 engines need 5W-30 oil, while the 4.6L V8 needs 5W-20 oil. All engines must use full synthetic oil.
