Book An Oil Change If You Notice:

bullet alert Dark or Dirty Oil:
Check your oil with the dipstick; clean oil is amber-coloured, while dirty oil is dark and gritty.

bullet alert Engine Noise:
A lack of proper lubrication can cause unusual engine sounds.

bullet alert Decreased Performance:
Reduced acceleration when you drive, or poor fuel efficiency may indicate old oil.

bullet alert It’s Been A while:
Even if you don’t drive frequently, oil degrades over time. It’s recommended to change your oil at least once every 6 to 12 months, even if you haven’t reached the mileage interval.

bullet alert Oil Change Light:
Many newer-model Ford vehicles have an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor that determines when you should change the engine oil based on how your specific vehicle is used.

How often should I change my brakes?

Brake pads typically need replacement every 40,000 to 112,000 kilometres, but this varies based on driving habits and conditions. For example, city driving or aggressive braking can wear them out faster, while highway driving tends to extend their life.

What type of oil does my car need?

The type of oil your car requires depends on the manufacturer’s specifications. Most modern vehicles use synthetic oil, but some older models may require conventional oil. Refer to your owner’s manual or consult a trusted mechanic to determine the best oil for your vehicle.

Can I switch between synthetic and conventional oil?

Yes, you can switch between synthetic and conventional oil, but it’s important to choose oil that meets your car’s specifications. Synthetic oil offers better performance and protection, especially in extreme temperatures or during heavy towing.

What happens if I don’t change my oil?

Neglecting oil changes can lead to a buildup of sludge and debris in the engine, causing poor performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and potential engine failure. Skipping oil changes significantly shorten the life of your engine and increases repair costs.

Do I need to replace the oil filter during every oil change?

Yes, it’s recommended that the oil filter be replaced with every oil change. A new filter ensures that debris and contaminants are properly removed from the oil, protecting your engine.

How long does an oil change take?

A typical oil change should take no more than 30 to 45 minutes. Book an appointment at the Miller Hughes Ford service centre to be in and out in a jif!
