Why is an Oil Change Important for my Ford Vehicle?

Oil changes provide the means to keep your Ford car, truck or SUV running smoothly and effectively. Oil tends to build up residue and become old and ineffective after many miles or hours of usage. Without changing your oil on a regular basis, you can cause issues with your engine including seizure which can lead to serious damage and very expensive repairs down the road.

When it comes to how often you should get your oil changed, we have a few recommendations based on the age of your vehicle. For newer models, Ford recommends that you get your oil changed every 7,500 miles or six months, whichever comes first. With models that are older, they typically recommend every 5,000 miles or six months. These numbers aren't exact and may fluctuate based on how often you drive around Newtown. It's important to keep track of your vehicle's condition and pay attention when service lights appear on your dash.
