After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 2008 E-250’s oil should be changed according to Ford’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your E-250 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Ford recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Ford E-250. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2008 Ford E-250 motor oil: either synthetic or conventional.

During an oil change, a technician will change your E-250's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your E-250 by taking into account your driving style, and odometer.

2008 Ford E-250 Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Ford E-250? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Ford E-250 engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change Ford E-250 oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might 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 also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Ford E-250 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Ford E-250 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Ford E-250 oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Ford E-250? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Ford E-250 oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my E-250's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Ford E-250 every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
