How do I know if my vehicle requires an oil change?
Most modern vehicles are fitted with a specific ‘Check Oil’ light which acts as an indicator that there is an issue with your car’s oil.
Upon seeing this light you should check the level of oil and top it up in required, and check if the vehicle is due an oil change.
Oil changes on modern Ford cards are recommended approximately every 10,000 miles and topping up of oil should be done regularly.
In addition to the light, there are some clues that the oil in your car might need replaced. Your car making a strange noise or shuddering motion upon starting the ignition may indicate that the engine is not being sufficiently lubricated by oil.
You can also tell when you check the oil level if your oil needs changed – new oil should be smooth and light brown in colour, older oil becomes gritty and black – this is a good indication of the need for an oil change.
Noticing any of these signs suggest it may be time for an oil change and you should look to have this completed as soon as possible.
