Ford recommends changing your 1997 Aerostar’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Aerostar in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Aerostar may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Ford if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Ford Aerostar. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1997 Ford Aerostar motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Ford has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 1997 Ford Aerostar vehicles.

You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Aerostar by considering your driving style, and mileage.
