Where can I find information about maintaining my Ford Ranger's engine?

I recently purchased a Ford Ranger and want to make sure I take care of the engine to ensure its longevity. Where can I find information on what kind of oil to use, when to change filters, and other engine maintenance tips?

As an automotive technician, I have found that the best resource for engine maintenance information on Ford vehicles is the owner's manual. It provides detailed information on the recommended oil type, filter replacement intervals, and other important maintenance tasks specific to your Ranger model.

I have been a Ford Ranger owner for over a decade and have learned a lot through trial and error. My advice is to stick to the recommended oil type and change it every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on your driving habits. As for filters, I replace them every 15,000 to 20,000 miles for optimal engine performance.

Another great resource for Ford Ranger engine maintenance is online forums and communities. You can find advice from other Ranger owners who have been through different engine issues and have valuable insights to share.
