Based on the search results, the Ford Aerostar with a 3.0-liter engine requires approximately 4.5 quarts of oil for a change with the filter. After adding the oil, it is recommended to run the engine for a few minutes, allow the oil to drain back into the pan for another few minutes, and then recheck the oil level. It may take an additional 1/2 quart, or it may not. The distance of the cross hash marks on the dipstick is typically the equivalent of 1 quart.
Please note that it’s always a good idea to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the most accurate and specific information regarding oil capacity and maintenance procedures.

In 2011, Ford started recommending 5w30 for the turbocharged 3.5 Ecoboost engines, but they haven’t changed the recommendation for the non-turbo duratec. You can run both 5w20 or 5w30 safely on these engines (turbocharged and non-turbo). Both oils will work great.

Are Ford 3.0 V6 a reliable engine?
Very reliable, and Ford built a LOT of these for the Taurus and Mercury Sable. As John DelGobbo said, by today’s standards it’s not an exceptional engine by any means. But, if you’re asking, it’s probably because you’re looking to buy/repair an older car with one of these engines.
