Ford Oil Change FAQ

Getting your oil changed regularly keeps your vehicle running smoothly. However, it's also easy to forget amidst normal vehicle operation and other maintenance tasks. That's why Folsom Lake Ford is here to help you keep a tight Ford oil change schedule.

We're also here to answer anything you want to know about oil changes, including these frequently asked questions.

Why Do I Need an Oil Change?

In order to work properly, the oil inside your car needs to be clean and pristine. Otherwise, it won't be able to effectively lubricate your engine or keep it cool during operation. This can lead to overheating, or otherwise cause your engine to malfunction, which is why scheduling regular oil changes is important.

Is An Oil Change Difficult?

Not at all! If you're just bringing in your vehicle for an oil change, your Ford service visit won't take very long. It's a simple service task, and by the end, you'll have plenty of clean oil inside your tank.

How Often Should I Change My Oil?

We recommend consulting your Ford owner's manual to see the manufacturer's guidelines for oil changes. However, the basic rule of thumb is to change your oil every 5,000 miles or 90 days, whichever comes first.

Has it been longer than that since you last cleaned your oil? If so, it's time to head over to our service department to request an oil change.

Do I Need an Oil Change Right Now?

To determine if your car is due for an oil change, it's best to check your oil. If you notice any dirt, burnt material, or other debris in the oil, it should be changed immediately. An oil change may also be appropriate if your oil levels are low, although this might indicate a leak that needs to be fixed.
