How Often Should I Have the Oil in My Explorer Changed?
Staying on top of regular oil changes is one of the simplest ways to keep it running smoothly and extend its life. For most drivers, Ford recommends changing the oil every 7,500 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. Plus, if you have a newer model, chances are it's equipped with an Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM). This handy system keeps track of your driving habits and lets you know precisely when it's time for an oil change. There's no guesswork needed. Following these simple guidelines helps your Explorer stay reliable and perform its best. Not sure if you're due for service? The team at Bill Currie Ford is here to help. Give us a call or schedule your oil change online, we make it easy to keep your SUV in top shape.
What Happens If I Skip an Oil Change?
While seemingly minor, skipping routine oil changes can lead to significant long-term engine damage. Over time, contaminants accumulate, thickening the oil into sludge. This sludge restricts vital lubrication, causing increased friction, overheating, reduced efficiency, and potentially catastrophic engine failure. Protect your investment by following a regular oil change schedule and maintaining clean engine oil.
Your Explorer Will Tell You When It's Time for an Oil Change!
Enjoy smarter maintenance with your Ford's Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM), including the Explorer. This advanced system goes beyond simple mileage reminders, using real-time data on your driving patterns, temperature, and conditions to calculate precisely when an oil change is needed. The IOLM starts at 100% and warns you at 5%, signaling that service is due. At 0%, an oil change is required. This personalized system ensures your engine gets the right care at the right time based on your driving habits.
