What type of oil do you use on a 2002 Ford Explorer?

The type of oil you should use in a 2002 Ford Explorer depends on the engine it has. Ford Explorers from that year came with several different engine options (e.g., 4.0L V6, 4.6L V8).

To know for sure, you MUST check your owner's manual. This will specify the recommended oil type (weight and type - conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic) and viscosity (e.g., 5W-30, 10W-30).

Failing that, you can:

* Check the oil fill cap: Sometimes the recommended viscosity is printed on the oil fill cap.

* Look at the sticker under the hood: Many cars have a sticker under the hood that lists recommended fluids.

Without knowing the specific engine, I cannot give you a definitive answer. Using the wrong oil can damage your engine. Always consult your owner's manual or a reliable source before changing your oil.
