How do I change the oil in my Ford Transit Custom van?

I recently bought a Ford Transit Custom and I want to make sure I'm taking good care of it. How often should I change the oil and what type of oil should I use? Also, is there anything else I need to do during the oil change?

Hi Julia, for your Ford Transit Custom, it is recommended to change the oil every 10,000 miles or every year – whichever comes first. As for the type of oil, it is best to use a high-quality synthetic oil, like the Motorcraft Synthetic Blend, that meets the specifications of your van's engine. During the oil change, you should also check the oil filter and replace it if necessary.

Hi Julia, I'm also a Ford Transit Custom owner and I change my oil every 5,000 miles. It may seem like a shorter interval, but it helps keep my van running smoothly. I use a full synthetic oil, such as the Mobil1 Extended Performance, since it offers better protection for my engine. Don't forget to also check and top off other fluid levels during the oil change.
