Engine oil lubricates and protects the components in your Ford engine. Without it, the metal-on-metal contact that results can severely damage your vehicle’s engine. If dirt or other particles build up in the oil, they can scratch or damage vital components.

Regular oil and filter changes from Rusty Eck Ford help your vehicle operate at its most efficient. In fact, using the proper grade of oil recommended by your Owner Guide can improve your gas mileage by as much as 2%.

Ford Motor Company and Rusty Eck Ford generally recommend getting your oil changed every 5,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first.

However, you should change your oil and filter more often – every 3,000 miles or every three months, whichever comes first – if you do any of the following:

• Tow or carry heavy loads
• Idle or drive at low speeds for long distances
• Drive in dusty conditions
• Drive off-road frequently
• Use E85 fuel more than 50% of the time

The experts at Rusty Eck Ford's Service Department have the recommended grade of Motorcraft® oil and the right Motorcraft® filters on hand for your vehicle. Plus, their Ford Motor Company-trained technicians can perform a Multi-Point Inspection to make sure the rest of your vehicle’s critical systems are operating at peak performance.
