Conventional oil is mineral‑based, synthetic blends mix synthetic and conventional oils, and full synthetic offers higher thermal stability and flow at temperature extremes.

For the 3.5L V6 in the 2018 Ford Explorer, Ford's recommendation in the owner's literature determines the acceptable oil family and viscosity. Full synthetic oils generally improve cold‑start pumpability in Draper's winter and resist breakdown during towing or highway commuting. If you tow frequently or drive in extreme heat or cold, discuss full synthetic options with the service advisor when you schedule service.

• Conventional = mineral oil base
• Synthetic blend = partial synthetic benefits
• Full synthetic = better stability for extreme conditions
