The 2007 Ford Ranger takes 5W-20 Conventional with a total capacity of 4.5 quarts (filter included). You’ll need a 16mm socket for the drain plug, torqued to 30 Nm. The OEM oil filter is the Motorcraft FL-400S, with 3 compatible alternatives listed below. Note: this vehicle has 6 active recalls — check the recalls section below. Below you’ll find complete maintenance specs, fluid capacities, parts, and links to buy what you need.

⚑ QUICK DIY TIPS FOR THE 2007 FORD RANGER
  • Torque your drain plug to 30 Nm (22 ft-lbs) to avoid leaks or stripped threads.
  • Using the OEM filter (Motorcraft FL-400S) is recommended for warranty compliance.
  • Always use 5W-20 Conventional as specified by Ford — using the wrong viscosity can void your powertrain warranty.
  • Check the maintenance schedule below for your next service interval.
