Our Quick Lane service ensures you receive high-quality Ford maintenance while minimizing your time at the shop.

Why Oil Changes Are Crucial for Your Vehicle’s Health

Motor oil is primarily a lubricant, preventing friction between engine components. It also dissipates heat and removes debris that accumulates in the engine. Without fresh, clean oil, engine parts experience increased friction, leading to premature wear and tear. Thick and sludgy oil reduces its effectiveness and can clog vital engine pathways.

Motor oil plays a critical role in cooling the engine. As oil circulates, it absorbs heat from the moving components and redistributes it evenly. This prevents overheating, which can cause engine failure. Without proper lubrication and heat dissipation, your engine is at risk of seizing up, which can result in major repairs or even a full engine replacement.

Regular oil changes help maintain optimal fuel efficiency because dirty or degraded oil forces your engine to work harder, increasing fuel consumption. By ensuring your engine is properly lubricated, you allow it to run smoothly and efficiently, saving you money on gas.

Neglecting oil changes can lead to many mechanical issues, including excessive engine wear, overheating, and even complete engine failure. Replacing an engine is significantly more expensive than routine oil changes, making regular maintenance a cost-effective way for you to extend the life of your Ford.

Types of Oil Offered at Ford Oil Change Centers

Choosing between conventional and synthetic oils for your oil change can be challenging.

Conventional vs. Synthetic Oil — What’s Best for You?

At Kalispell Ford, we offer both conventional and synthetic oil options. Conventional oil is a budget-friendly choice, while synthetic oil provides superior protection and longevity. Depending on your driving habits and climate conditions, our technicians can recommend the best option for your Ford.

Genuine Motorcraft Filters and Lubricants

Using Motorcraft filters and lubricants ensures your engine gets the highest level of protection. These Ford-approved products work specifically with your Ford vehicle, enhancing performance and longevity.

How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

Most Ford vehicles require an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on the type of oil used and the age of your vehicle. If you regularly drive in extreme conditions, such as hot climates or stop-and-go traffic, your car may need more frequent oil changes.

Signs It’s Time for an Oil Change

Here are a few indicators that it’s time for an oil change:

  • Dark, thick oil on the dipstick
  • Unusual engine noises
  • Decreased fuel efficiency
  • Illuminated oil change or check engine light
  • Excessive exhaust smoke

How Ford Centers Compare To Other Service Providers
