What kind of oil do you use in your 1995 Mercury Tracer?

Answer 1

Depending on the mileage you would use 10w30 for under 80,000 miles and over that you would want to consider a synthetic oil. Remember when switching to a synthetic oil always completely drain the oil in the engine and change the filter before applying the synthetic. Otherwise the oil will become gummy and will not work as efficently to reduce friction. *For colder climates, (Below 32F) and general use Ford recommends using 5w-30. But I agree with the prior answer, synthetic is superior and you can certainly use 10w-30 for anything above freezing, especially if the ambient temperature is higher than 90F. Synthetic oils and conventional oils mix fine, they will not gum up when combined
