I own a Ford Mondeo and I have been advised by my mechanic to change the oil every 5,000 miles. Is this really necessary or can I go longer between oil changes? How does it affect the performance of my car and should I follow this recommendation?
ReplyYes, regular oil changes play a crucial role in maintaining the performance and longevity of your Ford Mondeo's engine. The general rule of thumb is to change the oil every 5,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. This ensures that your engine is properly lubricated and any contaminants are removed, preventing potential damage to your engine.
In my experience, I have found that following the recommended oil change intervals for my Ford Mondeo has kept it running smoothly and avoiding any major engine issues. Think of it as a preventive measure to avoid costly repairs in the future. Plus, newer engines are designed to run more efficiently on fresh oil.
