Ford recommends changing your 1987 E-350 Econoline’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your E-350 Econoline may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Ford E-350 Econoline.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1987 Ford E-350 Econoline

  • Should I check my Ford E-350 Econoline motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Ford E-350 Econoline engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Ford E-350 Econoline 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 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 exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. 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 old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Ford E-350 Econoline oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Ford E-350 Econoline oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my Ford E-350 Econoline oil light comes on? The oil change light in your Ford E-350 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.
  • Do I need to change my E-350 Econoline's oil filter when I get an oil change? You should replace your Ford E-350 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.
