Schedule NowTrust in our knowledge and expertise.
With today's hi-tech vehicles, even something seemingly as simple as an oil change requires up-to-date knowledge of a vehicle's engine and its specs. You get that at Academy Ford. We have the right parts, tools and techs to help ensure your service is done correctly the ?rst time.
Why are oil changes so important?
Regular oil and ?lter changes are very important to the life of your engine. That's because the right oil helps keep your vehicle's engine clean, reduces overall wear and maximizes its performance.
How often should I change my oil?
Many newer-model vehicles come equipped with an Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor® that determines when you should change the engine oil based on how your vehicle is used. This means you do not have to remember to change the oil on a mileage-based schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when an oil change is due by displaying a message in the information display.
Paying close attention to your vehicle's owner's manual and its recommended scheduled maintenance intervals will help ensure that oil changes are done before any engine damage can occur.
