1996 Ford E-150 Econoline Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Ford E-150 Econoline engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Ford E-150 Econoline 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 oil at home? 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 changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Ford exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Ford E-150 Econoline oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Ford E-150 Econoline 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 oil light comes on? Your Ford E-150 Econoline oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change.
