What type oil for Ford Ranger 2007?

The recommended oil type for a 2007 Ford Ranger depends on the engine it has. Ford Rangers of that year came with several different engines. To know for sure, you need to check your owner's manual. It will specify the correct oil type (weight and specification) for your specific engine.

However, generally speaking, a 2007 Ford Ranger likely requires one of the following:

* 5W-20: This is a common viscosity for modern engines and is a good starting point.

* 5W-30: This is also a common viscosity, particularly in hotter climates or for higher mileage engines. Again, check your manual.

Beyond the viscosity, the oil should meet the specifications listed in your owner's manual. These specifications often include terms like:

* API: (American Petroleum Institute) This will be something like API SM, SN, or SP. Newer is generally better, but using an oil that meets the minimum specification in your manual is crucial.

* ILSAC: (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee) Similar to API, this indicates the oil's performance standards.

Do not rely solely on this information. Always consult your owner's manual for the exact oil type and specifications recommended by Ford for your specific 2007 Ford Ranger. Using the wrong oil can damage your engine.
