Your 2013 Ford Explorer requires oil that matches Ford’s specification for the 3.5L V6 (engine code 6VNAF3.5). Using the correct oil type and filter helps protect timing components and ensures proper cold-start performance in Colorado winters.

Driving in the Denver metro can mean stop-and-go traffic, cold starts, and dust from foothill roads—conditions that may require shorter intervals than standard. We can review your conditions and match the interval to your usage so your 3.5L V6 stays protected year-round.

• Use the owner’s manual interval as the baseline
• Shorten intervals for towing, short trips, or heavy traffic
• Document each service to maintain warranty compliance

Refer to the owner’s manual for the exact capacity for your 3.5L V6 configuration.

Oil capacity can vary by engine calibration and production date. Our team verifies capacity by VIN and installs the correct amount of Ford-spec oil, then confirms level after warm-up so your Explorer leaves with the right fill for Lakewood’s driving conditions.

• Capacity verified by VIN at write-up
• Level rechecked after engine reaches operating temperature
• Disposal of used oil and filter included

Full synthetic generally offers better high/low-temp protection and stability than blend or conventional when it meets the Ford spec.

Choose an oil that matches Ford’s specification and the viscosity listed in your owner’s manual. In Colorado’s cold winters and hot summers, full synthetic often maintains viscosity more consistently, supporting engine protection during cold starts and highway climbs.

• Match Ford spec and listed viscosity first
• Full synthetic enhances cold-start and high-heat stability
• Blends can be a middle ground if they meet spec
