Regular oil changes are vital for the performance of your internal combustion engine as you drive along Fayetteville roads. If you don’t change your oil, you run the risk of destroying your engine completely and having a very expensive repair.
How often should you change your oil? Find out from the certified oil change technicians at Superior Ford near Springdale
For Ford vehicles made in 2008 or newer, the oil change frequency is every 7,500 miles, or around eight months, whichever comes first. Your vehicle’s oil change indicator will tell you when it’s time. Once that light shines on your dashboard, you’ll need an oil change within two weeks or 500 miles of driving, or you risk engine damage. Never wait more than one year for an oil change, no matter how many miles you’ve driven since your last oil change.
To make the 7,500-mile oil change frequency interval work, we highly recommend full synthetic oil for your vehicle. Full synthetic oil lasts longer than conventional oil. It’s higher quality, and it has cleansers and anti-oxidizers to make the oil last longer and run cleaner than conventional motor oil.
You may need oil changes more frequently if you drive in less-than-ideal conditions where your engine has to work harder. If you engage in these activities with your vehicle, your oil change frequency might be less than 7,500 miles:
