Why Are Oil Changes So Important?
The oil in your engine serves several vital functions:
- Lubricates moving parts to minimize friction and wear
- Helps cool the engine by drawing heat away from components
- Traps and holds contaminants and combustion byproducts, keeping the engine clean
Over time, engine oil breaks down and becomes less effective at these important jobs. That's why regular oil and filter changes are essential for maintaining your Ford vehicle's performance and longevity.
Signs Your Ford Needs an Oil Change
While following Ford's recommended oil change intervals in your owner's manual is always a good policy, there are a few signs that could indicate your vehicle is due for service sooner:
- Dark and dirty oil on the dipstick
- Low oil level
- Louder than usual engine noise
- Illuminated oil change or check engine light
