I recently purchased a 2020 Ford Puma and I want to make sure that I am properly taking care of the car's maintenance. Can you walk me through the steps of changing the engine oil and what type of oil I should use?
ReplyFirst, gather all necessary supplies including a new oil filter, oil pan, and the recommended type of oil for your specific model. Start by placing the oil pan underneath the car and removing the oil plug. Allow the old oil to drain completely. Then, replace the oil plug and remove the old oil filter. Install the new filter and pour in the recommended amount of new oil. Always check the owner's manual for the exact amount. Finally, check the oil level and add more if needed. I would also recommend checking your oil levels regularly to ensure proper maintenance of your Ford Puma.
Changing the engine oil is an important part of car maintenance and should be done every 5,000-7,500 miles. Make sure to use the recommended type of oil for your specific Ford Puma. While performing an oil change, it is also a good idea to check other fluids such as brake fluid, transmission fluid, and coolant levels. This will ensure that your car is running smoothly and can prevent potential issues in the future.
When changing your engine oil, it is also important to properly dispose of the old oil. You can bring it to a local auto shop or recycling center that accepts used oil. Do not pour it down the drain or in the garbage as it can harm the environment. Keeping up with regular oil changes and proper disposal can help prolong the life of your Ford Puma's engine.
