How Often to Get 1995 Ford Windstar Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your Ford Windstar’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Ford recommends changing your 1995 Windstar’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Windstar may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, 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 areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Ford Windstar. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My Ford Windstar?

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Ford Windstar. Ford has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 1995 Windstar. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, regulate engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your Windstar’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can drive easy knowing that we strive to do what's best for your vehicle and take into account your driving preferences, and the number of miles on your odometer.

1995 Ford Windstar Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my Ford Windstar? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your Ford Windstar 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 Windstar oil at home? 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 changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Ford Windstar exhaust smoke grayish or blue? 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. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who offers Ford Windstar oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Ford Windstar oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my Ford Windstar oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Ford Windstar 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.
  • Do I need to change my Windstar's oil filter when I get an oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Ford Windstar every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
