What type of oil do I use for a 99' Ford Taurus?

I've changed the oil before but I can't in the life of me remember what type of oil it should take. I can't find it in the users manual or anything. Any suggestion?

Answer 3

I've driven Fords for many years , the current one being a 94 Explorer, and have learned over time that high mileage vehicles run better with straight weight like 30 or 40, in the summer, depending on your temperatures, so it doesn't break down as easily. I use 10w30 for winter because of our cold temps. so as not to tax the motor too much at start. I also use Frams high mileage filter for better oil pressure since my truck has nearly 200 thous. miles now. For me, it maintains excellent oil pressure year round. I only use Valvoline or GTX now, not synthetic.

Answer 4

99 Taurus

Answer 5

i too have a 99 Taurus and juat so happen to get an oil change the other day..It's 5W-30
Mine was listed under the hood by all the diagrams and stuff...hope that helps.
It does sepend on your weather conditiond too though, but that is what Ford recommends.

Answer 6

For temps above -18c or 0 deg. F. use 10w30, When the temperature drops below the above number, use 5w30. Make sure that the oil is api certified for gasoline engines and that you use a high quality oil like Valvoline, Quaker State or Pennz. Don't use the value brands for complete oil changes. After all, you get what you pay for.

Answer 7

You should be able to find it under the hood on the oil fill cap or on a sticker placed under the hood. Both of our Taurus's take 5w-30.Or look on the end of the dipstick if all else fails.

Answer 8

Ford recommends 5w20 for your vehicle. Be sure to use a well known brand name oil that meets all mfgrs standards.
