Ford recommends having your 2009 Ford Fusion’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Fusion in the above table. Your Fusion may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change 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.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt 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.

2009 Ford Fusion Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Ford Fusion? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your Ford Fusion engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Ford oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Ford Fusion exhaust smoke grayish or blue? 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.

  • Why is the oil light on in my Ford Fusion? The oil change light in your Ford Fusion could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my Fusion's oil filter when I get an oil change? You should replace your Ford Fusion during each oil change.
