I have a 2018 Ford Transit Custom and I want to know how often I should change the oil and filter. I use my vehicle for deliveries and it has accumulated over 50,000 miles now. Should I stick to the manufacturer's recommended interval or change it more frequently due to the high mileage? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
ReplyBased on the manufacturer's recommendations, the oil change interval for the Ford Transit Custom is every 12 months or 12,500 miles, whichever comes first. However, with the high mileage on your vehicle, it would be wise to change the oil and filter more frequently to ensure optimal engine performance.
I also have a 2018 Ford Transit Custom and I recommend changing the oil and filter every 6 months or 10,000 miles, especially if you use your vehicle for deliveries. This will help keep your engine running smoothly and avoid any potential issues. I speak from personal experience as I neglected to change the oil frequently in my previous vehicle and it caused engine problems.
In my opinion, the recommended oil and filter change interval for the Ford Transit Custom may work for newer vehicles with lower mileage, but for your high mileage vehicle, I suggest changing the oil every 3-4 months or 5,000 miles. It may seem excessive, but it will ensure your engine stays in good shape for as long as possible.
