We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”
Your 2004 Thunderbird’s oil should be changed according to Ford’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Thunderbird in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Thunderbird may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Ford recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Ford Thunderbird. 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.
Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2004 Ford Thunderbird motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Ford has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 2004 Ford Thunderbird vehicles. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, keep the engine cool, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine.

You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving habits, local climate,
