5w-30 outdoor temp. from & below 0 F (-18 C) to 100 F (38 C)
10w-30 outdoor temp. from 0 F (-18 C) to 100 F (38 C) & above temp.
10w30 weight.
According to the 1998 Ford Taurus Owner Guide : ( 5W-30 is used in all the factory engines )
I would use 10W30 in the engine
there is no oil pressure in my 1997 ford taurus, but the oil is full?
In a 1995 Ford Taurus : ( 5W-30 is the PREFERRED engine oil for the 3.0 and 3.8 )
The motor oil that is recommended for a 2000 Ford Taurus is 5W 20. This oil can be purchased at any retail or auto parts store.
According to the 1996 Ford Taurus Owner Guide : The 3.4 liter V8 engine in a 1996 Ford Taurus SHO takes : ( 6.5 U.S. quarts of 5W-30 engine oil with engine oil filter change )
According to the 1998 Ford Taurus Owner Guide ( 5W-30 )
The 2002 Ford Taurus Owner Guide shows ( 5W-20 )
According to the 1999 Ford Taurus Owner Guide ( 5W-30 )
On my 1998 Taurus the oil filter is on the front towards the bottom.
When the oil light comes on when a 2002 Ford Taurus is idling it means there may be a problem with the oil pressure that needs to be checked.
