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

I just bought a new Ford Ranger and I'm not sure what type of oil to use for its engine. This is my first time owning a Ford car and I want to make sure I'm doing it right. Any recommendations?

Congratulations on your new Ford Ranger! The recommended oil type for the engine would be 5W-20 or 5W-30. These types of oil are specifically designed for modern engines like the one in your Ford Ranger.

My advice would be to always refer to your owner's manual for the recommended oil type. It's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure the best performance and longevity of your engine.

I've been using synthetic oil for my Ford Ranger and it has been working great for me. It's a bit more expensive but it offers better protection and lasts longer compared to conventional oil.
