What type of oil does a 2002 Ford Explorer uses?

The 2002 Ford Explorer's recommended oil type depends on the engine it has. There were several engine options available that year. To know for sure, you need to check your owner's manual or the sticker located under the hood.

However, generally speaking, a 2002 Ford Explorer likely uses 5W-30 motor oil. This was a common recommendation for many vehicles around that time. But again, always check your owner's manual for the exact specification recommended by Ford. Using the wrong oil can damage your engine.
