Ford recommends changing your 1983 E-250 Econoline’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your E-250 Econoline in the above table. Outside of Ford-recommended oil change intervals, your E-250 Econoline may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle 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, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Ford E-250 Econoline.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1983 Ford E-250 Econoline

  • Should I check my Ford E-250 Econoline motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Ford E-250 Econoline engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Ford E-250 Econoline oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Ford E-250 Econoline exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Ford E-250 Econoline oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Ford E-250 Econoline oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Ford E-250 Econoline? The oil change light in your Ford E-250 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-250 Econoline's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Ford E-250 Econoline, 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.
