What are the oil specs for a 2001 Ford Taurus? weight, and quantity?

On most engines it is on the driver side of the block under the master cylinder.

The best way to get oil weight is look under the hood for a white sticker...it will have the recommended weight ....good luck

Hope thos help (remember rated and comment this) Good luck.

possible old engine oil or wrong weight, the specs given in you manual do not account for wear the more miles you have the heavier the oil should be but it must be replace at the right time 3,000 to 5,000 to keep the oil flowing perfectly, the older the oil the harder it is for it to flow. change the oil and use lucas oil additive if this does not solve your problem it is possible that is time to rebuilt or replace.Dont forget the filter!

recommended 5w-30, but check owners manual, for oil change places use it

unfortunately if you ran it out of oil while driving it and it stalled it's probably seized and you are in need of a rebuild or a new engine.....sorry for the bad news :(......six
