Ford recommends changing your 2013 Explorer’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Explorer may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine 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. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Ford if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Ford Explorer. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
