What tipe of oil should you use for a 2000 Ford Explorer?

The type of oil for a 2000 Ford Explorer depends on the engine it has. Ford Explorers of that year came with several engine options. To know for sure, you need to check your owner's manual. It will specify the exact oil type and viscosity (like 5W-30 or 10W-40) recommended for your specific engine.

However, generally speaking, a 2000 Ford Explorer likely recommends a conventional or synthetic blend motor oil. The viscosity will be indicated in the owner's manual, but common viscosities for that era were 5W-30 or 10W-30. Always use the weight recommended by Ford. Using the incorrect viscosity can damage your engine.

Don't rely on general advice found online; consult your owner's manual for the correct oil type and viscosity.
