What kind of oil goes in a 1997 Ford Expedition?

The recommended oil for a 1997 Ford Expedition 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 under the hood.

However, generally speaking, 1997 Ford Expeditions used either 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor oil. Always check your owner's manual for the *exact* specification recommended by Ford for your specific engine. Using the wrong weight oil can damage your engine. The manual will also specify the type of oil (conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic).
