★ Top Answer
The 2012 Ford Taurus requires SAE 5w-30 oil and can hold 5.5 quarts with a filter. Oil is essential for keeping your car's engine cool, lubricated, and to prevent wear and damage by ensuring the moving parts don't grind against each other. An oil change for your Taurus typically costs between $50 and $60 for labor and between $70 and $80 for parts. It is recommended to schedule an oil change every 10,000 miles. Signs that indicate it's time for an oil change include increased engine noise, shaking at idle, transmission shifting problems, excess exhaust, the smell of oil inside the vehicle, and if the Check Engine or Oil Change warning lights appear.
