What type of oil should I use for 2004 ford Taurus station wagon? - 1

Good oil

Hi with a car of this age any mineral oil would be suitable for a gasoline engine 20w-50 oil. For a diesel engine then a 10w -40 oil would be the desired type.
it would be a waste of money putting in any modern oils as the car is now so worn in the engine parts.

5W-20

Whatever is recommended in the owner's manual.

10W30 standard motor oil from a major manufacturer such as Castrol or Valvoline.

Ford recommends SAE 5w-20 so that is exactly what you should use. Ignore anyone who tells you different. I would recommend you use a High Mileage oil if the car has over 100,000 miles on the odometer. The brand you use is your choice.
