How Often to Change 2016 Ford Fusion Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2016 Ford Fusion? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Ford recommends changing your 2016 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 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 terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Ford Fusion. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Ford Fusion Need?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2016 Ford Fusion motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Ford has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2016 Fusion. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During an oil change, one of our techs will change your Fusion’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Fusion by considering your driving habits, and odometer.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2016 Ford Fusion

  • Should I check my Ford Fusion motor oil level? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to Ford Fusion engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Ford Fusion oil at home? 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 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Ford Fusion? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Ford Fusion oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Ford Fusion? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Ford Fusion 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 Fusion's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Ford Fusion every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
