- 2007 Ford Explorer
We have just done the second oil change on our used 2007 Explorer with the 4.6L engine. We have used 5W-20 conventional oil for both changes. Most of the miles are highway miles (60 MPH). The Explorer has 91,000 miles.
My question is what is "normal" oil consumption for this engine? We used about 1.5 qts over about 4,000 miles. This is somewhat higher than what we experienced on our last Ford vehicle (2002 Ford Taurus with the Vulcan engine).
Many thanks.
