Ford recommends having your 1994 Ford Ranger’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Ranger may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Ford if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Ford Ranger. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

1994 Ford Ranger Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Ford Ranger motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Ranger’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Ford Ranger 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. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly 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. 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.
  • Who can change the oil on my Ford Ranger? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Ford Ranger oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my Ford Ranger oil light illuminated? Your Ford Ranger oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change.
