What is the ford ranger oil type?

Whats best type oil to use

I’m not sure why you wouldn’t trust synthetic oil! They recommend other viscosity oils over seas because the use different engines. With the small turbo charged engine, I would only use the recommended 5w20. I’d also use a full synthetic oil.

5W - 20 (or) 5W - 30 Synthetic engine oil is recommended for thr Ford Ranger XLT 3.2, However I'm curious If a different viscosity oil would be better for a really old or really new engine (ex. My dads - *230 000km on the clock/but a new engine has been installed since 170 000km = 60 000km done by current engine)... As the engine ages, circumstances change inside and I wonder If someone has info. On how viscosity should be adjusted as the engine ages???

Ford recommends that ford rangers with 2.3L engines should use a 5w-20 and 5w-30 motor oil although it will depend on the age of the engine.

Id not recommend 5w20this is 2nd vehicleive had in last 5 years that said to use it then find out overseas version of same car uses 5w 30 or higher they have to put 5w20 because when they are made and engineered 5w20 is the lowest acceptable oil to kinda protect engineand gives best EPA and fuel mileage but no worries about using 5w30 mayb 10w30 in summer honestlyim debating on whether to use synthetic blend or high mileage synthetic blend dont trust or like synthetic and conventiinal is great but for near same price can get one of the prior 2 which has better oil and additives

I have a 2021 Roush Ranger. I only Mobile 1 full synthetic 5W30. I’ve only ever used Mobile 1 in all my vehicles, changed every 5000 miles and have never had an engine problem since I’ve been driving. I’m 43 years old. Take that for what it’s worth.
