Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1984 Ford Escort? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”
Ford recommends changing your 1984 Escort’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Escort may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess 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 terrain, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Ford Escort. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1984 Ford Escort motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Ford has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 1984 Ford Escort vehicles.

During an oil change, an auto technician will change your Escort’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important 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 Escort by taking into account your driving habits, climate,
