What type of oil does a Ford Galaxy use?

I recently bought a Ford Galaxy and I was wondering what type of oil it uses. I want to make sure I use the right kind for optimal performance and longevity. Can anyone give me some advice?

Congratulations on your new Ford Galaxy Emily! According to the owner's manual, your car uses SAE 5W-20 oil. Be sure to check your oil level regularly and change it every 5,000 miles for best results.

I've been a Ford owner for years and I can tell you from experience that using synthetic oil will give your Galaxy better protection and performance. I recommend a high quality synthetic oil like Mobil 1 or Castrol EDGE.
