Trust the oil-life monitor
The monitor tracks engine temperature, revolutions and driving conditions. When it reaches a low percentage, schedule service. Reset it after every oil change.
Why Houston driving counts as severe
Stop-and-go traffic on I-45 and 610, long idles with the A/C running and summer heat all wear oil faster. Towing a boat on weekends does too.
What an oil change visit should include
- Correct Ford-spec oil and a new filter
- Tire rotation if due
- Multi-point inspection with photos or video
- Fluid top-offs and a battery test
- Monitor reset
Pro tip from our team
Check your oil level once a month, especially on turbocharged engines. A low level between changes is worth mentioning to a technician.
