Oil Change Q&A for Your 1997 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon

  • Should I check my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your E-150 Econoline Club Wagon’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Ford exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get 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.
  • What does it mean if my Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon oil light comes on? 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.
