I just purchased a Ford EcoSport and I'm wondering how often I should change the oil and what type of oil to use. Can someone please provide me with a step-by-step guide on how to change the oil in my car?
ReplyHi Samantha, congratulations on your new Ford EcoSport! According to Ford, the recommended oil change interval for this car is every 7,500 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. As for the type of oil, it's best to use a synthetic blend or full synthetic oil for better performance and longevity of your engine.
Hi Samantha, changing your oil is a relatively simple process. First, gather all the necessary tools such as a drain pan, oil filter wrench, and new oil filter. Then, locate the oil drain plug, remove the plug and let the old oil drain into the pan. Next, replace the old oil filter with the new one and fill the engine with the recommended amount of new oil. Remember to dispose of the used oil properly.
Hey Samantha, make sure to check your owner's manual for the exact oil capacity of your car and to use the recommended oil viscosity. Also, don't forget to inspect the oil filter and the drain plug for any damages before putting everything back together. Regular oil changes will help to keep your Ford EcoSport's engine running smoothly.
