2011 Ford Explorer Oil Capacity

The 2011 Ford Explorer with the Duratec 35 engine has an oil capacity of 6.0 qt and uses 5W-20 oil. These figures describe the listed engine and model year; they should not be assumed to apply to other Explorer engines or years.

Read the capacity as the listed oil amount for this engine, and read 5W-20 as the specified oil grade. The facts provided do not say whether the capacity includes a filter change or give a different amount for another trim, so confirm any unlisted figure on the door jamb or in the owner's manual.

If your Explorer has an engine other than the Duratec 35, or you are checking a different model year, verify its oil capacity and grade in the owner's manual rather than using these figures. Follow the vehicle-specific guidance if it differs.
