I just purchased a Ford Ranger and I'm wondering what type of oil is best to use. The manual recommends synthetic oil, but I've heard mixed opinions. What is your recommendation and why?
ReplyI would highly recommend using a synthetic oil for your Ford Ranger. It has been specifically formulated for high-performance engines like the one in your Ranger. Synthetic oil also has better resistance to extreme temperatures and provides superior protection against engine wear and tear. I personally use and recommend Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil for my Ford Ranger.
I've been using conventional oil in my Ford Ranger for years and haven't had any issues. It's cheaper and easier to find than synthetic oil. However, if you're planning on towing heavy loads or doing a lot of off-roading, then synthetic oil might be a better option. It all depends on your usage and personal preference.
