Is there a recommended oil type for the Ford Ranger's engine?

I recently purchased a Ford Ranger and was wondering if there is a specific type of oil that is recommended for optimal engine performance. I want to make sure I am using the best option for my car's health.

Yes, it is recommended to use synthetic motor oil for the Ford Ranger engine. This type of oil provides better protection and can improve your car's fuel economy.

No, any type of oil can be used for the Ford Ranger engine as long as it meets the API certification. However, it is recommended to stick with the same brand and type of oil for consistency.

I have been using conventional motor oil for my Ford Ranger and haven't had any issues so far. Just make sure to follow the recommended oil change intervals.
