Oil Change Q&A for Your 2011 Ford Transit Connect

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Ford Transit Connect? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Transit Connect’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Ford oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. 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. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Ford Transit Connect oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for Ford Transit Connect oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Ford Transit Connect to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Ford Transit Connect oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my Transit Connect's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? Every time you change the oil in your Ford Transit Connect, 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.
