Should I check my Ford Transit-250 motor oil level?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Transit-250’s 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 oil on my own?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my Ford Transit-250 exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

The oil change light in your Ford Transit-250 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.

Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Ford Transit-250?
