2016 Ford Taurus Oil SpecificationsThe 2016 Ford Taurus is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. Across the model’s four trims, horsepower ranges from 288 to 365 hp, torque ranges from 254 to 350 lb-ft, and curb weight ranges from 3,969 to 4,343 pounds. Oil service should use the grade the engine specifies and should include a new oil filter.
The manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule calls for changing the engine oil every 10,000 miles and replacing the oil filter every 10,000 miles. The service visit also includes resetting the oil-life monitor and checking underhood fluid levels. Because oil loses its additive package and ability to carry heat and debris over time, mileage and time-based maintenance are more useful than appearance alone.
