Why check the motor oil level in my Ford F-150?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Ford F-150 engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

How hard is it to change Ford F-150 oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Ford F-150 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Ford recommends having your 2002 Ford F-150’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your F-150 in the above table. Outside of Ford-recommended oil change intervals, your F-150 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, 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, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Ford F-150. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
