An oil change is the best you can do for your Ford engine. The certified technicians at your Ford dealership will change the oil using the proper grade and viscosity to keep the moving components well-lubricated, ensuring your engine runs smoothly. With routine oil replacements, your Ford will perform at its best and be on the road for years to come.
How Often Should Your Ford Get an Oil Change From Your Ford Dealership?
The Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM)
Newer Ford models often have an Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor built in, which alerts you when it’s time to change the engine oil based on where and how you drive your vehicle. Nowadays, you don’t have to keep track of mileage-based oil replacement intervals. You will receive a message on the information display when your vehicle needs new oil.
If your Ford doesn’t have an IOLM, follow the factory-recommended oil replacement intervals in your owner’s manual, generally recommended every 5,000 to 10,000 miles or every six months, depending on your model and driving conditions.
Driving Conditions
Where and how you drive your Ford significantly affects how often your sedan, SUV, or truck will need an oil replacement. If you frequently drive in the city, take short trips, drive on gravel roads, or tow heavy loads, we recommend replacing the oil regularly.
Motorcraft Oil
Using the correct type of oil will ensure that your Ford engine remains lubricated and functions smoothly for a more extended period. To help protect your engine and enhance its performance, Ford recommends using high-quality conventional, synthetic, or synthetic blend Motorcraft oils. During an oil replacement, a Ford technician will change the oil filter with a premium Motorcraft oil filter to prevent dirt and debris from contaminating the engine oil.
The Works
When your Ford needs new oil, insist on The Works, which offers much more than just an oil replacement. The Works is a comprehensive multi-point vehicle inspection that includes an oil replacement with the correct oil for your Ford model, a fluid correction, a battery test, a brake inspection, belts, and hoses check, a tire pressure check, and a tire rotation, all at a very reasonable price.
Oil Replacement Benefits
Oil is a lubricant that prevents friction between the moving engine components that can cause wear and damage. Over time, the oil deteriorates and becomes contaminated, reducing its ability to provide adequate lubrication. When you replace your Ford’s oil regularly, the engine has a steady supply of fresh oil, ensuring all the parts move smoothly and efficiently, reducing harmful emissions and saving you money on gas and repairs.
When you sit behind the wheel of a high-tech Ford, rely on your Ford technician, who knows your vehicle and how vital the proper grade of oil is for your Ford engine to perform routine oil replacements. When your Ford needs new oil, call Mike Fitzpatrick Ford in Newnan, GA, today for The Works, and rest assured your Ford is in expert hands.
