How Often to Change 2005 Ford Five Hundred Oil

Not sure how or where to get your Ford Five Hundred’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Ford recommends changing your 2005 Five Hundred’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Five Hundred in the above table. Outside of Ford-recommended oil change intervals, your Five Hundred 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 might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Ford if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Ford Five Hundred. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2005 Ford Five Hundred Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Ford Five Hundred engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Ford Five Hundred engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Ford Five Hundred oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Ford Five Hundred exhaust smoke grayish or blue? 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. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Ford Five Hundred? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Ford Five Hundred oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What does it mean if my Ford Five Hundred oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Ford Five Hundred oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my Five Hundred's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Ford Five Hundred during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
