Ford recommends having your 2000 Ford Explorer’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Explorer may need its oil changed ASAP 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 might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Ford if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Ford Explorer. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Ford has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2000 Explorer.

In an oil change service, an auto technician will change your Explorer’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Explorer by considering your driving habits, climate,
