How often you should come to our Dealership for an oil change?
Ford Motor Company generally recommends getting an oil change every 5,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first.
If you drive your vehicle under tougher conditions, you should change your oil and filter every 3,000 miles or every three months, which ever comes first. Follow this schedule if you: Tow or carry heavy loads Idle or drive at low speeds for long distances Drive in dusty conditions Drive off-road frequently Use E85 fuel more than 50% of the time.
Why are regular oil changes essential to everyday driving?
The engine oil you put in your vehicle lubricates and protects the components in your engine. Without it, the metal-on-metal contact that results can severely damage your vehicle’s engine. If dirt or other particles build up in the oil, they can scratch or damage vital components.
The best thing you can do for your vehicle is to get scheduled maintenance at Mike Dorian Ford in Clinton Township, Michigan. Every maintenance schedule includes oil changes each maintenance interval.
In between visits, you can check the level of oil in your vehicle and add more as necessary. Be sure you use the right viscosity grade of Motorcraft oil – you’ll get peak performance at different temperatures. Check your owner's manual to find the correct oil for your vehicle.
Changing your oil and filter regularly keeps your engine clean. And, your engine will be thoroughly lubricated, helping it run more efficiently. In fact, using the grade of oil recommended by your owner’s guide and scheduled maintenance can improve your gas mileage by as much as 2%. Source: www.fueleconomy.gov
