1985 Ford E-150 Econoline Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Ford E-150 Econoline engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Ford E-150 Econoline engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Ford oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Ford E-150 Econoline spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Ford E-150 Econoline? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Ford E-150 Econoline oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Ford E-150 Econoline? The oil change light in your Ford E-150 Econoline could be triggered by an overdue oil change.
