Oil Change Q&A for Your 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Ford Explorer Sport Trac? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Ford Explorer Sport Trac engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Ford Explorer Sport Trac oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Ford Explorer Sport Trac spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Ford Explorer Sport Trac oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Ford Explorer Sport Trac oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my Ford Explorer Sport Trac oil light illuminated? Your Ford Explorer Sport Trac oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Ford Explorer Sport Trac? Every time you change the oil in your Ford Explorer Sport Trac, 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.
