Frequently Asked Questions: Oil Change Service at Sherwood Ford

How often should I change my oil?
While the old "every 5,000 km" rule is largely outdated, standard intervals depend on your oil type. Conventional oil typically needs changing every 5,000 to 8,000km, while synthetic oils can last between 10,000 to 15,000 km.

What is the difference between synthetic and regular oil?
Regular (conventional) oil is a basic petroleum derivative suited for simpler engines. Synthetic oil is artificially engineered, offering better performance, longer lifespans, and superior protection in extreme temperatures.

How much does an oil change cost?
An average oil change using the Ford pacakge The Works typically start from $109.95. This price will vary depending on your vehicle's make, the amount of oil required, and whether you use synthetic or conventional oil.

What does an oil change service include?
Beyond just draining the old fluid, a standard service usually involves replacing the oil filter and often includes topping off essential fluids, checking tire pressure, and a basic vehicle inspection.

How can I check my engine oil myself?
To check your oil, park on a level surface, wait five minutes for the engine to cool, and pull out the dipstick. Wipe it clean, reinsert it, and pull it out again. The oil level should sit between the marked lines, and it should look somewhat translucent.

What are the warning signs that I need an oil change?
Telltale signs include the dashboard "Oil Change Required" light, darker and grittier oil on your dipstick, an oily burning smell in the cabin, or the engine sounding louder and rougher than usual.

What happens if I delay an oil change?
If you wait too long, old, sludgy oil loses its ability to lubricate. This causes metal engine parts to grind against each other, which can result in overheating, permanent motor damage, and catastrophic repair bills.
