There should be a decal under the hood with the specified oil for your vehicle. My 2000 Ranger recommends ASE 5 W 30. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The owners manual shows :( 2004 Ford Ranger ) for the 2.3 L and 3.0 L - Motorcraft SAE 5 W 20 Premium Synthetic Blend Motor Oil ( U.S.) and Motorcraft SAE 5 W 20 Super Premium Motor Oil (in Canada) * ( the use of synthetic blend is NOT MANDATORY - you can if you wish ) * for the 4.0 L - Motorcraft SAE 5 W 30 Super Premium Motor Oil
I am trying to change the oil transmission on my ford ranger 1998 but I do not know what kind of oil it needs. it's a 4 cylender
5W-30 oil is used in the engines of a 1996 Ford Ranger
5 quarts
The 1997 Ford Ranger owners manual shows that ( 5 W - 30 ) is the preferred oil for the 3 available engine choices
According to the 2004 Ford Ranger Owner Guide : With engine oil filter change : The 3.0 liter V6 engine takes ( 4.3 liters / 4.5 U.S. quarts of 5W-20 )
5 w 30

5W-30
If you have the owner's manual, it usually says what kind of oil you need in there.
According to one of Fords websites : For a 1988 Ford Ranger : ( the Motorcraft FL-1-A engine oil filter is used for the 2.0 , 2.3 , and 2.9 engines )
5W-20
( 5W-30 ) according to the 1998 Ford Ranger Owner Guide ( 2.5 / 3.0 / 4.0 )
