thequietman Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Ford Ranger 2010 2.5 diesel engine. It is outside its warranty and so I want to change the oil and filter myself. Ford charge me nearly 3000 baht for something I can do for a fraction of that. So, I need new filter and engine oil. I read the engine takes 7 liters of oil, correct? Any suggestions for what kind of oil please? 5w-30 or 10w-40 or 10w-40 ? what would you recommend. I hardly drive it. Its 4 1/2 years old with 72000 on the clock. It looks very easy to change the fuel filter. Maybe I will change this also. Thanks for any and all advice. I am a little nervous as I am a pen pusher but the thought of doing it myself is good. How hard can it be! I have youtubed for this model and all looks very straight forward. Edited November 16, 2014 by thequietman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luk AJ Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 My advice, if you know nothing about engines, don't touch. A small mistake can do a lot of damage. 3000 is very fair price if it includes the oil.

arthurwait Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 A local place will charge you about 100 baht for the service. This is less than you will be paying for tools and petrol to go and buy then. They also have the added bonus of having a chart for the manufacturers recommended oil and a machine to flush out your system. Then again it maybe for the personal reward/satisfaction. Until the Mrs goes mad at the oil stains on the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Go to a Caltex and use Delo oil...probably about 1500b & one of the strongest/best products you can use.....they put an OE filter on mine which I prefer..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jitar Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 5W30 or 10W30 are the usual choices depending on how much you want to spend on the oil. Ford Oil Spec http://www.ford.co.th/en/ford-owners/services/ford-engine-oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgordo38 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 God I am living in the past what ever happened to the $19.95 oil change with filter and a free coffee while you waited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I go to a Shell garage just for oil and filter. Last time put semi synthetic in it, with filter cost (I think) 1300bht. The figure you were quoted could be for full Synthetic oil.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
