Ford Oil Changes & Routine Maintenance near Glen Carbon, IL

An oil change on a Ford is the natural time to handle the tire rotation, brake inspection and other items Ford's maintenance schedule pairs with it. Auffenberg Ford North in O'Fallon handles oil changes and routine maintenance for Glen Carbon drivers with Motorcraft oil and filters and factory-trained technicians who look over the rest of the vehicle while it is in the shop.

Every Ford engine calls for oil that meets a specific viscosity grade and Ford specification, and Ford recommends Motorcraft oil. Our technicians match the oil to your engine, from the grade an EcoBoost F-150 needs to the diesel oil a Power Stroke Super Duty calls for, and install a new Motorcraft filter.

Ford also tells owners not to use supplemental oil additives, which it calls unnecessary and says could lead to engine damage the warranty may not cover. Sticking to the specified oil is the simplest way to protect the engine.

When Your Ford Shows an Oil Change Message
V

When a Ford shows the Change Engine Oil Soon message, little oil life remains, and Ford says to have the oil changed within two weeks or 500 miles and to reset the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor afterward. For gas vehicles, Ford sets a ceiling of one year or 10,000 miles between changes, though Ford's manuals note that some hybrids may go past 10,000 miles as long as they stay within one year.

Ford treats short trips of less than 5 to 10 miles, towing or heavy loads, dusty conditions, temperatures well above or below average and idling more than recommended as severe driving conditions, and vehicles driven that way follow the severe service items in Ford's maintenance schedule.

Between changes, Ford recommends checking the engine oil monthly on most vehicles and adding oil that meets your vehicle's specification if the level is at or below the MIN mark. If it drops that low between oil changes, Ford says to have a Ford dealer find out why.


All About Oil Changes
What Ford's Schedule Includes at Every Oil Change
V

Ford's schedule attaches a set of checks to each oil and filter change: rotating the tires and measuring tread depth, a recommended multi-point inspection, and inspecting the brake pads, rotors, hoses and parking brake, along with coolant strength, the exhaust, steering and suspension parts and the air filters.

Ford's recommended multi-point inspection looks over everyday items such as the battery, drive belts, exterior lamps, fluid levels, wipers and washer spray, so upcoming maintenance can be planned ahead of time.

The same Ford list also covers the horn, the hazard warning system, the windshield, the halfshaft dust boots and the radiator, heater and air conditioning hoses.
