Signs you need your Ford Ranger oil changed

If you check your oil level and it is low, dark, gritty, or your oil light is on, it’s time to get your Ford Ranger’s oil changed. Leaving your oil unchanged can lead to engine damage, poor fuel efficiency and other major problems, as it won’t be able to cool and lubricate the engine properly.

How often do you need an oil change?

Your Ford Ranger should have its engine oil and filters changed every 15,000km or 12 months, whichever comes first. However, you may need a change sooner if you’ve been driving in dusty or wet conditions, or at high speeds in hot weather. Older cars may also need more frequent oil changes, so keep that in mind when scheduling maintenance.

FAQs

What type of oil should I use in my Ford Ranger?

The best oil for your Ford Ranger will depend on the engine fitted to your car, but it will typically need a fully synthetic oil. High-quality fully synthetic oils are purer, offer more consistency, and can operate under the high extremes of modern engines better than conventional oils.

How often do you change the oil in a Ford Ranger?

Ford recommends changing the oil in your Ford Ranger every 15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first. You can find the specific recommendation for how often you should change your oil in your car’s servicing manual, or you can always ask the friendly team at mycar.

How long can a Ford ranger go without an oil change?

While your Ford Ranger can go longer than the recommended 15,000 km or 12 months without an oil change, you’ll be causing your car damage.

The longer you go between oil and filter changes, the more problems you will start to notice, including engine problems and potentially voiding your warranty.
