I recently purchased a Ford S-Max and I want to know the proper steps to change the oil. I've never done it before and I want to make sure I do it correctly to maintain the car's performance. Can someone give me a step-by-step guide on how to change the oil in a Ford S-Max?
ReplyFirst, gather all necessary materials such as a new oil filter, oil pan, and fresh oil. Then, lift the car using jack stands and remove the oil drain plug to drain the old oil. Next, replace the oil filter and pour in the new oil according to your car's specifications. Finally, check the oil level and tighten the oil cap. It's important to dispose of the old oil properly.
I've been changing the oil in my Ford S-Max for years and my advice would be to always use high-quality oil and filters. Don't cheap out on these essential components. Also, make sure to let the car sit for a few minutes after driving before changing the oil to ensure all the old oil has settled at the bottom of the oil pan.
