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.

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 percent (source: www.fueleconomy.gov)!

Change Frequency

To help keep your engine running optimally, we recommend consulting your maintenance schedule about oil change frequency.

Between visits to the Dealership for scheduled maintenance, 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 guide to find the correct oil for your vehicle.

Getting an Oil Change at the Dealership

Your scheduled maintenance visits at the Dealership every 3,000 or 5,000 miles not only include an oil and filter change—you'll also get a multi-point inspection by experts with the most up-to-date training on your vehicle.

In addition to the multi-point inspection, our technicians will use the oil formulated specifically for your vehicle—Motorcraft® Synthetic Blend Oil. It contains special anti-wear additives to protect your engine and minimize wear. It also keeps your engine running as efficiently and as clean as possible.
