Ford recommends changing your 1993 Aerostar’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of Ford-recommended oil change intervals, your Aerostar may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Ford Aerostar. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
