The Importance of Routine Oil Changes

When starting your car up, the engine is cold and void of oil in its moving parts. It takes only a few seconds after start-up for the oil pump to adequately lubricate an engine. During those few seconds, however, is when you should keep engine RPMs down to a minimum. Give the engine at least 30 second before popping it in gear and roaring off. If you drive your vehicle like you want it to last, then it likely will. But it is also very important to get an oil change for your Ford at regular intervals. Engine oil 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.

See your Ford Owner Manual for specific information, but as a general rule you should plan to schedule an oil change every 5,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. However, if you tow or carry heavy loads, idle or drive at low speeds for long distances on a regular basis, drive in dusty conditions, drive off-road frequently, or if you use E85 fuel more than 50% of the time, then in general an oil change every 3,000 miles or every three months would recommended.  Visit our Dewey Ford service center for more information!
