For most people, the best oil for their Ford Bronco is going to be synthetic motor oil. This type of oil is designed to withstand high temperatures and protect your engine from wear and tear. It’s also relatively easy to find and relatively inexpensive.

Recommended Engine Oil For Ford Bronco
Ford recommends Motorcraft® motor oil for your car for optimum performance and protection. If Motorcraft® oil is not accessible, use motor oils of the suggested viscosity grade that bear the API Certification Mark for gasoline engines.
Do not apply engine oil additive supplements, as they are pointless and may cause damage that your vehicle warranty does not cover.
