In a Ford Explorer :
The 4.0 litre V6 engine ( both the EFI , which is the Over Head Valve / pushrod
design engine , and the Single Over Head Cam version take 5.0 U.S. quarts of 5W-30 )
( 5W-30 ) is the preferred oil according to the 1997 Ford Explorer Owner Guide
5 W - 30 is the preferred oil for all 1998 Ford Explorer engines
For a Ford Explorer : If you have the 4.0 liter V6 engine ( OHV and SOHC versions ) The recommended oil is 5W-30
SAE 5 W - 30 is the preferred oil , according to the 1996 Ford Explorer owners manual
5W-30 is the preferred oil viscosity
For a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport : ( 5.0 U.S. quarts / 4.7 litres of 5W-30 engine oil , with engine oil filter change )
According to my Haynes Ford Explorer repair manual : ( MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used in the transfer case of a 1993 Ford Explorer )
( 5 w 30 ) is the preferred oil ( that's what I've used in my 1995 Ford Explorer for over 14 years now
10w-30 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 1999 Ford Explorer Owner Guide shows ( 5W-30 )
The 2000 Ford Explorer owners manual shows ( 5 W - 30 ) for all available engines
( No ) on a 2002 Ford Explorer the oil pump is mechanically driven
