Oil Change Q&A for Your 1988 Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your E-250 Econoline Club Wagon’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. 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. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Ford E-250 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 my Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon oil light illuminated? Your Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Does my E-250 Econoline Club Wagon's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Ford E-250 Econoline Club Wagon 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.
