It’s impossible to overstate just how important engine oil is to the health of your vehicle. Engine oil lubricates the moving components inside the engine, protecting them from friction and heat. Without proper lubrication, the engine will stop working almost immediately. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that you regularly change your oil, and why Ford has created a service schedule for your vehicle. Fortunately, oil changes are also one of the quickest and most inexpensive maintenance procedures for your vehicle, and Germain Ford of Beavercreek is here to help.

Ford Oil Change

When Is The Right Time To Change My Oil?

There was a time when oil change intervals were all pretty much the same, and it was easy to know when you needed to take whatever vehicle it was in for an oil change. New advancements in engine manufacturing techniques, as well as the oil itself, have greatly extended oil change intervals. This is great, as it ends up saving you a lot of time and money over the life of the vehicle, but the downside is that different vehicles now have different oil change schedules. This is why we always recommend that you check your manual for the correct maintenance schedule, it’s important to get it right, and the manual will always be right.

If you need additional help, or can’t locate your manual, the professionals at Germain Ford of Beavercreek are also here to help. We can even schedule your oil change at the same time.


Tips for Identifying an Engine Oil-Related Issue

It’s unusual for a properly maintained vehicle to develop oil-related problems, but the unusual does happen, and it’s best to know what to look for in case it does. You vehicle may still be running like normal, so these are your earliest warning signs.

Oil Spots

Oil Spots beneath your vehicle - This is just what it sounds like, a bit of oil leaking from somewhere on your vehicle’s engine onto the ground. It might not seem like seem like a big problem, but a small leak can become a big leak pretty quickly and without warning. It could be something simple, like a drain plug or oil filter that has come loose. But even leaks coming from faulty oil pan gaskets or valve cover gaskets can be repaired easily enough if they’re caught in time.

Oil Warning

Oil Warning / Low Oil Pressure Light - This is an indicator of a more serious problem. The solution might still be a simple and inexpensive one, but it will definitely need to be addressed immediately to keep it from becoming an even bigger problem. Modern digital dashes might provide more information, but the important thing to know is that, if you’re seeing an oil warning light, your engine has lost quite a bit of oil, and running it at all comes with a high risk of serious damage.
