Ford recommends having your 2012 Ford Fiesta’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Fiesta in the above table. Outside of Ford-recommended oil change intervals, your Fiesta may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Ford recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, 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 Fiesta. 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.
