Oil Change???
Ok just bought my 05 Expedition with 86000 miles. Anyone have any reccomendation on what type oil is should use? Ford Synthetic or Synthtic Blend? I believe the manual says blend, I think the truck was carried for reg. oil changes at dealer. Was thinking of doing it myself.
Thanks

Ford recommends using 7.0 quarts of 5W-20 Premium Synthetic Blend Motor Oil.
But they also have the following footnote: Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine oil need only meet the requirements of Ford specification WSS-M2C930-A and the API Certification mark.

Up through 04 an oil and filter change took 6 quarts. Your 05 is supposed to take 7 quarts when changing both the oil and filter. To be safe, put in 6 quarts, run the engine to fill the filter. Then shut it off, wait a few minutes, then check the oil level and fill it as needed.
