Why check the motor oil level in my Ford C-Max?

Can I change my Ford oil on my own?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.

How Often to Change 2017 Ford C-Max Oil

Need more info about 2017 Ford C-Max oil changes? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Ford recommends having your 2017 Ford C-Max’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your C-Max 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 an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Ford if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Ford C-Max. 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.

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2017 Ford C-Max motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Ford has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 2017 Ford C-Max vehicles.

You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your C-Max by taking into account your driving preferences, and the number of miles on your odometer.
