Not sure how or where to get your Ford Thunderbird’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires.

Ford recommends having your 1987 Ford Thunderbird’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Thunderbird may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess 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 go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Ford Thunderbird. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1987 Ford Thunderbird motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Ford has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 1987 Thunderbird. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, keep the engine cool, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During your oil change service, one of our techs will change your Thunderbird’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Thunderbird by considering your driving habits, and odometer.
