One of the most important aspects of maintaining the health of your Ford is with regular oil changes. If you live in Decatur, Jacksonville, Lincoln, or Taylorville, IL and drive a newer vehicle, not adhering to the recommended oil change intervals can not only threaten the engine components but could also void the warranty. It is a widely held belief that oil change service for most vehicles should occur every 3,000 miles. However, for Ford vehicles 2008 models and newer, it is recommended to have oil change service every 7,5000 miles or six months, whichever comes first. For vehicles 2007 and older, oil change service is recommended every 5,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. While this 5,000 to 7,000-mile interval schedule is more commonly used, it is important to follow manufacturer recommendations and consider your driving habits and style.
Just as there are risks relating to not getting regular oil change service, there are also risks for higher mileage oil change intervals such as:
While it is true that oil and engine technology has drastically improved, synthetic oils are more commonly used over traditional blends, which is why most oil change intervals are extended beyond every 3,000 miles or every six months.
