How Long Has It Been Since Your Last Ford Oil Change?

Oil changes are a great way to keep your car running smoothly. Getting your oil changed regularly can make a real difference and is easy to do. Here are a few reasons to bring your car in for a Ford oil change.

Engine Life

The oil in your engine is critical to its performance and longevity. If you don’t change it regularly—or if you use poor-quality oil in your vehicle—you could end up with an expensive repair bill.

That’s because worn-out oil doesn’t lubricate as well as new, clean oil, leading to engine problems over time. The good news is that changing your oil regularly will keep your engine healthy, so you won’t have to worry about spending money on repairs down the line.

Fuel Economy

One of the biggest benefits of an oil change is that it helps your car run more efficiently. If you wait too long between appointments, it can mean that your car’s engine isn’t running as well as it should be. During a Bob Maxey Ford oil service, we’ll clean out any sludge and change out your old oil.

Dirty oil means your car won’t be getting as many miles out of every gallon of gas. It also means wear and tear on your engine and more money on repairs down the line! Get an oil change regularly if you don’t want to spend extra money on gas or have to keep replacing parts because they’re wearing out faster than they should be.

Cooling the Engine

Your engine needs to run at a specific temperature to perform at its best. If the engine runs too hot or too cold, things can start breaking down, leading to more serious issues down the road.

Keep an eye on your oil level! Oil helps keep the engine from getting too hot or cold by acting as a heat sink. When your oil level gets low enough that its ability to absorb heat starts being compromised, that’s when you enter the danger zone!

Reduces Emissions

When you get your oil changed, you’re not only caring for your car but also helping the environment. Every time you drive your car, it emits harmful gases into the air. These emissions cause air pollution and contribute to climate change.

Dirty engine oil is particularly harmful, with noxious gas released into the atmosphere. However, if you get your oil changed regularly, it reduces the emissions released into the atmosphere. Since fresh oil burns cleaner than dirty oil, the more often you change your oil, the better.

If you’re unsure when you should get an oil change, we recommend checking your owner’s manual or calling our service department.
