Why Oil Changes Are So Important
An oil change is the foundation of vehicle preventative maintenance.
Engine oil ensures critical engine components and moving parts stay lubricated
and run smoothly. Over time, the engine oil degrades due to sediment buildup
and loss of oil levels. All vehicles with gas-burning engines need regular oil
replacements to prevent the engine from seizing up or causing damage to the
important components. Failing to change oil and replace the filter will
eventually lead to engine failure and costly damage.
How Often Is An Oil Change Needed?
For most new Ford models, the factory recommends oil changes every
7,500 miles or every six months. The recommendation can vary depending on the
vehicle type, age, and driving habits. You can find the specific maintenance
schedule for your vehicle in the owner's manual or by contacting our Service
Advisors.
Vehicles around 15 to 20 years ago used to have a recommendation of
every 3,000 miles for oil changes and filter replacements, but advances in
technology and oil formulations allow newer vehicles to go much longer before
needing an oil and filter change. At Witt Family Ford, we offer all other
routine services like tire rotations and brake services along with a routine
oil change to reduce your maintenance trips.
