What kind of oil does a 1998 Ford Expedition take?

I just bought an older model car and I want to make sure I know how to take care of it. Can you tell me what kind of oil a 1998 Ford Expedition takes?

It’s great that you want to know how to maintain your vehicle properly! Of course, an older vehicle usually has some special requirements, but I can certainly tell you what kind of oil a 1998
Ford Expedition
 takes.
Ford recommends six quarts of 5W-20 motor oil for your vehicle—a synthetic, high-mileage formula would be best. You should change it every 5,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first.
Once you’ve filled the oil, remember to check around your vehicle for leaks from the oil filter or drain plug!
Why not complement the routine maintenance of your Expedition with the best
car insurance
 possible?

How much does it cost to fix car seats?
I drive a 2000 Ford Taurus, and recently one of the seams on my front passenger seat split. I’m pretty sure the seats are leather, and I don’t think I can repair the damage myself. In general, how much does it cost to fix car seats?
