Ford Taurus AWD FFV Engine Oil Guide
The Ford Taurus AWD FFV was produced from 2013 to 2019. This model typically uses 5W-30 full synthetic engine oil — a specification common to most Ford Tau-series vehicles.
Selecting the correct oil viscosity for your Ford Taurus AWD FFV is essential. Using a grade that is too thin reduces protection at operating temperature, while too thick an oil impairs cold-start flow and reduces fuel economy. Always match the exact grade shown for your specific model year.
The recommended oil change interval for the Ford Taurus AWD FFV is every 7,500 miles or 12 months. Under severe driving conditions — track use, towing, or frequent cold starts — shorten this interval by 25–30%.
When servicing your Ford Taurus AWD FFV, always replace the oil filter at every oil change. Using a reliable filter — such as Motorcraft or Fram filters designed for Ford engines — protects against premature wear.
Oil change costs for the Ford Taurus AWD FFV at a US dealership or local service center typically range from $60 to $110 for a standard synthetic blend or full synthetic service. DIY oil changes cost approximately $30–$65 in parts (oil + filter) and take about 30 minutes with the right tools.
Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm the exact specification for your specific trim and engine variant, as some Ford Taurus AWD FFV configurations may have different requirements.
Ford models typically demand oil meeting WSS-M2C946-A or similar specifications. Ensure your oil bottle explicitly states compliance with Ford standards.
Ford's IOLM system calculates service intervals dynamically. Make sure to reset the system via the steering wheel instrument cluster after each change.
