Terry's Ford of PeotoneHow Do I Know It's Time to Change My Oil?
Many factors will determine when you need to change your oil and how often you should change it. With new advancements and improved designs and oils, some vehicles can go up to 10,000 miles between oil changes. If your Ford is a 2008 or newer model, we recommend that you change your oil every 7,500 miles or six months, whichever comes first. If your Ford is 2007 or older, we recommend you change your oil every 5,000 miles or every six months, whichever comes first.

Terry's Ford of PeotoneDo I Need Synthetic or Conventional Oil?
Since the implementation of synthetic oil, we've seen many positive outcomes such as resistance to oil breakdown, ability to withstand higher temperatures, and better flow in cold temperatures. If you make shorter trips, live in a climate with extreme temperatures, or have an older engine that's prone to sludge build up, we recommend that you opt for synthetic oil. Synthetic oil helps to prolong your oil life and will require fewer oil changes in the future.
However, synthetic oil comes at a higher price tag than conventional oil. If you'd like to get an expert opinion regarding the type of oil you should put in your Ford, feel free to send us a message or call us at (888) 241-3918.
