Can I use 10w30 in ford 2006 Taurus if 5w30 not around
Engine oil?? 5W30 synthetic is best.
It depends on what Taurus you have, the 1990-1995 Ford Taurus' use the AXOD and the AXOD-E transmissions. The 1996-2003 Ford Taurus' use the AX4S and some models even use the AX4SN transmissions. I have looked at some info on the Ford Windstar and they sould work, some Windstars use the same transmissions as the Ford Taurus, I think they use the same transmissions as the Taurus from 1993-2000.
Of course you can but Ford recommends SAE 5w20 oil for your Taurus. So why in the world would you want to use an oil that Ford does not recommend? The answer to your question is NO, use SAE 5w30 and nothing else if you want the engine to last for many years of trouble free driving.
