Look in owners manual. Or google it, doesent matter how many miles it has on it.
use synthetic oil. And dipstick or fill port may tell you too
Look at the owners manual. If you do not have one, get one from a dealer or online store.
Everyone has a different opinion, but I like Castrol 10-40

- What kind of Synthetic Oil does Ford use? GM recommends Dexos in all newer GM s. Does Ford have a specialty oil that they recommend/prefer? Especially something that won't void a warranty
- What kind of coolant should I use? 1987 Ford Econoline E-250 conversion van. I live in Florida and it easily gets over 100 degrees F in summer. I have never done a coolant flush/change, but it seems pretty easy. What coolant would be best to use on this vehicle? BTW: I this van has not been driven in years, so everything needs to be changed.
- I have a 97 Ford Ranger, 4.0, in good shape, 102,000 miles and it doesn't start as well as I think it should. It cranks strong, and has new? Motorcraft plugs and fuel filter. I've cleaned the MAF sensor and throttle body and the truck runs fine and there's no misfire. Maybe I'm expecting too much, but I think the truck should start when I turn the key instead of having to crank 2-3 times. I've also installed a new IAC valve. Any suggestions on how to get the truck to start better?
- Have 98 Ford Ranger, 4.0, 171,000 miles, auto trans with limited slip. I've owned truck since new and have changed trans fluid every 30-35 000 miles and have never towed anything. The majority of the 171,000 miles are interstate driving. The truck shifts fine with no jerking or slippage. What I do get is thump(s) in rear end when I come to a stop, as gears are downshifting. Do I need a new transmission? Any suggestions? I suppose it's a "clunk" I hear and feel when I come to a stop, not a thump.
