What is an oil change?

An engine oil change is where a mechanic takes all of the old, dirty oil out of your car's engine and replaces it with new, fresh oil.

Why do cars need an oil change?

A regular oil change helps protect your Ford engine, improve performance, and extend its lifespan. Fresh oil reduces wear, improves fuel efficiency, and prevents costly engine damage. Over time, engine oil degrades, changes viscosity, gets contaminated (with wear from the engine, water, or carbon, for example), and protective additives are used up.

When these things happen, your engine oil is no longer doing its job of lubricating engine parts, which causes parts to grind and wear away. This can do significant damage to your engine if left unchecked! On top of that, fresh engine oil helps keep the engine cool so keeping old oil for too long can also cause overheating issues. All of this together leads to an inefficient engine so you'll likely notice worse fuel efficiency and emissions.

In summary, to explain why you need an oil change: changing your engine oil regularly helps prevent damage and overheating, and can even improve fuel efficiency and emissions.

What's included in an oil change?

An oil change service is more accurately an oil and filter change, because you usually change oil and oil filter at the same time. A mechanic will drain the existing oil, replace the oil filter, and fill the engine back up with the correct oil for your car (as per Ford manufacturer requirements).

How do you know when oil needs to be changed?

The easiest way to know when your car needs an oil and filter change is to follow regular oil change intervals, but you can also figure out whether your car needs an oil change in a few easy ways:

• The oil colour has become dark (when you check it on the oil dipstick).

• When you check the dipstick, the oil seems grainy and coarse.

• Even with routine topping off, the oil level continues to decline.

• A rise in engine noise - ticking, knocking, or grinding - as this is usually due to an increase in engine parts rubbing together.

• Smoke is coming from the engine.

• You smell the scent of burning oil.

• The dashboard has an illuminated oil warning light.

• High mileage/a long time since the last oil change.
