★ Top Answer
In 2008, all models of the Ford Taurus were powered by a 3.5L V6 engine with no alternative engine choices available. It is recommended to use 5W-20 synthetic oil, with Ford suggesting their Motorcraft brand for optimal performance as it is specifically designed for these engines. The oil capacity is 5.5 US quarts including the filter. Regular oil changes are advised every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. The oil drain plug has a 15mm head size and should be tightened with around 25 ft-lbs of torque for removal.
