Your 1994 Probe’s oil should be changed according to Ford’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics 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 an unusual amount of exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Ford Probe. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

1994 Ford Probe Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Ford Probe engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to Ford Probe engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change Ford Probe 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. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Ford Probe exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Ford Probe? 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.
  • What does it mean if my Ford Probe oil light comes on? The oil change light in your Ford Probe 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 Probe's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Ford Probe, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
