      Oil Change Advice


      Why oil changes are so important. 

      The expert techs at your Ford Dealer know regular oil and filter changes help your vehicle run with optimum efficiency. Additionally, the right oil helps keep your car’s engine clean, helps reduce overall wear and maximizes its performance. In fact, when you use the proper grade of engine oil, you can improve your fuel economy by up to two percent. *Consult your owner’s manual or the scheduled maintenance guide for information on oil change intervals.

      For Service Techs---the right people for the job.

      Today’s vehicles are some of the most technologically advanced machines ever produced. Even an oil change isn’t as basic as it used to be. Our expert Ford Service technicians have the knowledge, the parts and tools and the training to help make sure the job gets done right the first time.

      Get The Works™. It’s no ordinary oil change. 

      Just an oil change? Think again. The Works is a complete vehicle checkup that includes a synthetic blend oil change, tire rotation and pressure check, brake inspection, multi-point inspection, fluid top-off, battery test, filter check, plus belts and hoses check.

      Schedule your oil change.

      Contact your local Ford dealer or log into our Ford Owner account to schedule service. Want to check if it's time for an oil change? Access the Maintenance Scheduler.
