What type of oil for a 95 Ford Ranger?

The best oil type for your 1995 Ford Ranger depends on the engine it has. Ford Rangers of that year came with several different engines. You must check your owner's manual to determine the correct oil type and viscosity.

However, generally speaking, for a 1995 Ford Ranger, you'll likely find recommendations for:

* SAE 10W-30: This is a common and often recommended viscosity for older engines, especially in moderate climates.

* SAE 5W-30: This is a slightly thinner oil, better for cold starts and fuel efficiency, but may not be suitable for all conditions or engines.

Crucially: The owner's manual will specify the *correct* oil weight and type (conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic) for your specific engine. Using the wrong oil can damage your engine. Look for a sticker under the hood or consult the manual to find the engine type (e.g., 2.3L, 2.9L, 3.0L, 4.0L) and then use that information to search for the specific oil recommendation.
