What Type of oil 1999 Ford Explorer?

The type of oil for a 1999 Ford Explorer 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 on the engine bay (often near the oil filler cap).

However, generally speaking, a 1999 Ford Explorer likely uses one of the following:

* 5W-30: This is a common viscosity for many Ford engines of that era.

* 10W-30: This is another possibility, especially in warmer climates.

Crucially, check your owner's manual. It will specify the correct oil type and weight, as well as the API certification (like SL or SJ, older standards) that the oil should meet. Using the incorrect oil can damage your engine.
