Ford Oil Type

Adding oil to engine
 

All internal combustion engines need oil to run properly to prevent wear, friction, and permanent engine damage. Engine oil helps the pistons move efficiently. Once oil wears out over time, it can cause the pistons to heat up, and the engine to heat up, which could cause engine failure and lead to a huge repair bill.

 

 

If gasoline is the food that runs your engine, motor oil is the blood that keeps the vital parts moving smoothly to distribute power properly. Modern Ford vehicles use high-tech advances and vaunted engineering to help you get the most out of your new vehicle.

The Ford oil type depends on your specific model and year. However, we will go over the right Ford oil type for several popular vehicles.

Ford Oil Type Recommended by the Manufacturer

Ford recommends its own brand of oil, called Ford Motorcraft®, for all of its engines. Because modern vehicles need updated lubricants, Ford highly suggests you use synthetic oil in all engines. Synthetic oil is more expensive. However, instead of oil changes every 3,000 miles, you won’t need to change the oil until after 7,500 miles. You’ll save money over the long term since you have fewer oil changes in New Castle.

OEM parts, including oil, are best for your Ford vehicle because the manufacturer specifically formulates the oil for its engines. Also, having the right Ford oil type can help you maintain your powertrain warranty.

Ford F-150 Oil Type

Ford F-150 pickup trucks are the best-selling models in North America, and with good reason. Their engines last for a long time, and they can tow just about anything you need. The Ford F-150 oil type you need to keep your pickup running great is SAE 5W-30 synthetic motor oil for most driving conditions in Yorktown. This will keep your oil working during frigid IN winters when you need your Ford pickup to perform at its best.

Ford Fusion Oil Type

Ford recommends fully synthetic oil SAE 5W-20 motor oil for its engines. If you intend to drive in harsher, more frigid conditions than those found in IN, we suggest SAE 0W-20 oil. The 0W means the motor oil works down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Again, we cannot stress enough how important it is to have fully synthetic motor oil for your oil changes.
