5w20 is the recommended weight.

On a 2001 Ford Taurus, the oil separator is typically located inside the engine's crankcase ventilation system, often integrated into the valve cover or the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system. To access it, you may need to remove the valve cover or the PCV valve itself. It's important to consult the vehicle's service manual for specific locations and detailed instructions.
