Full synthetic offers the highest oxidation stability and cold-flow performance, which is beneficial for turbocharged engines and New England winters.

Conventional oil meets basic standards but can shear and oxidize faster. Synthetic blends improve stability and detergency, while full synthetics deliver the most consistent protection for the Explorer’s 2.3L turbo, especially during cold starts in Westborough and MetroWest. Your owner’s manual lists the exact Ford-approved specification; we match that spec at service write-up.

• Full synthetic supports turbo durability
• Better low-temp pumpability in winter
• Meets or exceeds Ford’s listed spec when chosen correctly
