I recently bought a used Ford Galaxy and I want to make sure I properly maintain it. How often do I need to change the engine oil and what type of oil should I use? Is this something I can do myself or should I take it to a mechanic?
ReplyChanging the engine oil in a Ford Galaxy is a simple task that you can easily do yourself. You will need to do this every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. As for the oil type, you should use a synthetic or synthetic blend 5W-20 oil for optimal performance.
I recommend taking your Ford Galaxy to a mechanic for oil changes. They have the proper tools and knowledge to ensure the job is done correctly. However, if you are confident in your abilities, make sure to check your owner's manual for the correct oil type and schedule for your specific model.
