The 2010 Ford Explorer comes with two engine options: a 4.0 liter 6-cylinder and a larger, 4.6 liter 8-cylinder. The 6-cylinder engine requires 5 US quarts of 5W-30 oil with a filter, while the 8-cylinder engine needs 6 US quarts of 5W-20 oil with a filter. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months if using fully synthetic oil, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months with conventional oil. Synthetic oil offers better lubrication, longer service intervals, and improved performance in extreme weather conditions compared to conventional oil. Thinner viscosity oil like 5W-20 or 5W-30 moves more easily in cold weather, protecting the engine components effectively against friction and corrosion. The cost for an oil and filter change typically ranges from $110 to $125 including parts and labor.
For the 2010 Ford Explorer with the 4.0L V6 engine, Ford suggests using Motorcraft SAE 5W-30 oil or a similar oil that meets Ford specification WSS-M2C929-A. For the 4.6L V8 engine, Ford recommends Motorcraft SAE 5W-20 oil or a comparable oil that meets Ford specification WSS-M2C930-A.
