I was looking at the 2003 Ford Explorer Owner Guide and it shows :
That you don't have to use synthetic or synthetic blend engine oil
Just use ( 5W-20 ) engine oil in the 4.6 liter V8 that meets Ford specification
( WSS-M2C153-H ) certified for gasoline engines
For the 4.0 liter V6 ( 5W-30 ) and for the 4.6 liter V8 ( 5W-20 ) in a 2003 Ford Explorer , according to the Owner Guide
If there is not a drain plug on the bottom of the differential then you will have to remove the rear cover. If that is the case you will need a cover gasket. If it is limited slip, then it will require a special additive. Also be sure of the weight and if it is synthetic or not.
Unless you do lots of towing or drive in extremely hot temperatures conventional oil is all you need.
A 2003 Ford Explorer came from the factory with the ( Motorcraft BXT-65-650 battery ) * that's BCI group size 65 and 650 cold cranking amps

No, you can use conventional or synthetic, your choice.

The very same place you check the fluid level. You will need to purchase a funnel used to add fluid to an A/T.
