How Often to Change 2017 Ford Transit Connect Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2017 Ford Transit Connect? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Ford recommends having your 2017 Ford Transit Connect’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Transit Connect 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 vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of 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, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Ford Transit Connect. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

  • Why is my Ford Transit Connect spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? 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.
