1987 Ford Country Squire Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Ford Country Squire? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Ford Country Squire engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Ford Country Squire oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Ford Country Squire exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Ford Country Squire oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Ford Country Squire oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Ford Country Squire? Your Ford Country Squire oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change.

  • Do I need to change my Country Squire's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your Ford Country Squire oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
