All told, oil changes are one of the easiest, hassle-free ways you can ensure your Ford truck or SUV stays on the road. Oil flows through your powertrain, serving as a lubricant that reduces friction and helps keep temperatures within an acceptable range. It also helps clean your powertrain. As it cycles through your engine, it absorbs dirt and grime that accumulate, helping everything run smoothly. When you see the oil go in, it appears clear with a yellow hue, but by the time you change it, it’s dark and sludgy. This is thanks to all the contaminants it has absorbed. Keep your engine clean and healthy with regular oil changes from Bob Moore Ford!
How Often Should I Change My Oil?
As oil accumulates particles and dirt, it becomes less effective. Oil gets thicker as it absorbs contaminants, and the thicker it gets, the less effectively it can flow through your powertrain. The amount of time between oil changes will vary based on how pure your oil is, and the type of vehicle you drive. Newer Fords use synthetic oil, which only needs to be changed every 10,000 miles. Older models may use conventional oil, which typically requires a change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Without regular oil changes, you’ll notice decreased performance, culminating in higher temperatures and leading to your engine smoking, kicking, and eventually failing. Keep current with your oil changes with Bob Moore Ford.
What Type of Oil Should I Use in My Car?
So what sort of oil does your engine take? Newer models run on full synthetic oil, while older models with simpler engines generally require conventional oil. There is a range of different blends between those options. Ask your mechanic which of the following types of oil best suits your vehicle.
- Conventional Oil: This is the type of oil that has been most common in years past, made from refined crude and used on older powertrains.
- Full Synthetic Oil: Full synthetic oil is chemically altered to remove the impurities found in conventional oil, resulting in a product that lasts longer and performs better in extreme conditions.
- Synthetic Blend: There are different types of blends between conventional and synthetic products, helping offer a measure of affordability while still delivering many of the benefits of synthetics.
- High-Mileage Oil: This oil product helps protect engines that have seen extensive use for the long term.
