Ford recommends changing your 1998 E-150 Econoline’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your E-150 Econoline in the above table. Your E-150 Econoline may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Ford if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Ford E-150 Econoline. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Ford E-150 Econoline Need?

Ford has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 1998 E-150 Econoline. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your E-150 Econoline's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your E-150 Econoline by taking into account your driving preferences, and odometer.

1998 Ford E-150 Econoline Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Ford E-150 Econoline? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine 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.
  • Can I change my Ford E-150 Econoline 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 also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Ford E-150 Econoline spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or old 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? The oil change light in your Ford E-150 Econoline 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.
  • Does my E-150 Econoline's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Ford E-150 Econoline during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
