Ford recommends having your 2000 Ford Excursion’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Excursion in the above table. Outside of Ford-recommended oil change intervals, your Excursion may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Ford recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Ford Excursion. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
