Oil Change Q&A for Your 1988 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon? The oil change light in your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon? Every time you change the oil in your Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
