What kind of oil should you use in a 2009 ford e250?

The type of oil for a 2009 Ford E250 depends on the engine it has. Ford E250s from that year could have several different engines (gasoline or diesel). You absolutely must check your owner's manual to determine the correct oil specification.

The manual will specify:

* The correct viscosity: This is usually something like 5W-20, 5W-30, or 10W-30. The viscosity is crucial for proper lubrication at different temperatures.

* The oil type: This might specify conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic oil. Again, the manual will tell you what's best for your engine.

* API Certification: This is an industry standard that indicates the oil meets certain quality requirements. Your manual will list the appropriate API certification.

Using the incorrect oil can severely damage your engine. Don't guess – find your owner's manual! If you can't find it, you can often download a PDF version from the Ford website using your VIN number.
