Not sure how or where to get your Ford Explorer Sport Trac’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”
Your 2005 Explorer Sport Trac’s oil should be changed according to Ford’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Explorer Sport Trac in the above table. Outside of Ford-recommended oil change intervals, your Explorer Sport Trac may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Ford recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Ford Explorer Sport Trac. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Ford has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best motor oil for your 2005 Explorer Sport Trac.
