* Engine Variations: The 2007 Explorer V8 could have different engine sizes (4.6L or 5.4L). Each engine has a different oil capacity.
* Oil Type: The type of oil (conventional, synthetic, etc.) can slightly affect the oil capacity.
* Oil Filter: A new oil filter will hold a small amount of oil.
To find the correct oil capacity for your specific Ford Explorer V8, I recommend the following:
1. Check your Owner's Manual: This is the most reliable source for information on your vehicle. Look for the section on engine oil and maintenance.
2. Look Under the Hood: The oil fill cap should have the oil capacity listed on it.
3. Consult a Repair Manual: A repair manual for your specific vehicle will also contain this information.
4. Contact your Ford Dealer: Call your local Ford dealership and provide them with your vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). They can easily look up the correct oil capacity.
Important Safety Note: Never overfill your engine with oil! This can cause serious engine damage.
