Filters
How the 2021 compares with nearby years
Against the 2020 Explorer: The oil filter and cabin air filter are the same in both manuals.
Against the 2022 Explorer: the oil filter and cabin air filter changed (FL-910-S+FL-2062-A+FL-500-S in 2022 vs FL-2062+FL-500-S in 2021; FP-97 in 2022 vs FP-89 in 2021).
The 2021 Explorer belongs to the 6th gen (U625), which began with the 2020 model year (MY2025 facelift: larger grille, sleeker headlights and taillights); generation dates. Parts often carry over within a generation, but the manual for your exact model year is the one to trust.
Shared with other 2021 models
- Battery 48: 4 other 2021 models in this site's data print the same, including Ford Bronco Sport, Ford Escape, Ford F-150, Ford Transit.
- 3757 (rear direction indicator): no other 2021 model this site has read lists it.
- W21W (reversing lamps): 3 other 2021 models list it, including Ford Bronco Sport, Nissan Altima, Nissan Rogue.
- W5W (license plate lamp): 15 other 2021 models list it, including Ford Escape, Ford F-150, Ford Transit, Kia Sorento, Mazda CX-5, Nissan Altima.
A shared number means the same replacement part fits both cars, so one spare can cover two cars in the household.
What the manual does not print
The 2021 Ford Explorer owner's manual does not list oil sizes.
1 position is listed as LED in this manual. LED lamps have no separate replacement bulb; the lamp assembly is replaced.
Buying the parts for a 2021 Explorer
- Wipers: Ford lists blades by part number (WW-2616, WW-2113, WW-1110) rather than length; a parts counter can look the number up, or measure the old blade.
- Small bulbs: this manual names 3 replaceable bulb positions. Wedge bulbs such as W5W and 194 differ from twist-socket bulbs such as 7443 or 3157, so match the full number, including suffixes like NA (amber).
- Battery: the manual prints BAGM-48H6-760, which is BCI group 48. Match the cold cranking amps on the old label or higher, and keep the terminals on the same sides.
- Filters: the part numbers above are the maker's own brands; aftermarket boxes list cross-references to them, so quote the number (oil filter FL-2062) when you shop.
Check it on your car
Trim, engine and lighting package change some of these parts, so match the row that names your engine or trim. The facts on this page come from 3 pages of the manual (392, 393, 423). Before you buy, compare the number printed on the old part with the table above. See how this site reads manuals.
