When to Change 2008 Ford Fusion Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2008 Ford Fusion? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Ford recommends changing your 2008 Fusion’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Fusion in the above table. Outside of Ford-recommended oil change intervals, your Fusion 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, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Ford Fusion. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
