Ford recommends having your 1992 Ford Probe’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Probe in the above table. Your Probe may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Ford recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Ford Probe. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

1992 Ford Probe Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my Ford Probe engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Ford Probe engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Ford Probe oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Ford exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Ford Probe oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Ford Probe oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Ford Probe? Your Ford Probe oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Does my Probe's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Ford Probe 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.
