Oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle, and the better condition it's in, the better your vehicle will perform. If you've been putting your oil change on the back burner for a few weeks, let's change that today. We'll have you back on the road in less than an hour. Here's everything you need to know about oil changes for your Ford.
When to Get an Oil Change
We typically recommend an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or every six months, whichever comes first. However, this can vary depending on your specific Ford model and driving habits. Consult your owner's manual or ask one of our service techs at Community Ford of Mooresville for personalized recommendations.
Signs You Need an Oil Change
- Oil change or check engine light is on
- Loud engine noise or knocking sounds
- Dark, dirty oil on the dipstick
- Burnt oil smell in the cabin
Choosing the Best Oil for Your Ford
Using the proper oil is crucial for optimizing your engine's performance. If you want to do the job yourself in Indianapolis, we advise using the oil viscosity and type specified in your Ford's owner's manual. Our service center stocks a wide range of high-quality conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic oils to suit any Ford model.
How to Disable the Oil Change Warning Light
After getting an oil change, you may need to reset your Ford's oil monitoring system manually. The good news is that the process can't be any easier with your new Ford in Franklin. Turn the ignition to ON, then press and hold the SETUP button until "OIL LIFE SET TO 100%" is displayed. This will clear the oil change warning light until your next service is due.
