A Look At Conventional Oil

Ford and conventional motor oil go way back into automotive industry history: back to the beginning over 100 years ago. Conventional oil is often called standard or regular oil because of its lengthy presence as the universally accepted motor oil across the automotive industry for decades. Conventional oil was introduced alongside the combustion engine as it has always required lubrication to generate power efficiently and to prevent the engine from overheating and locking up the internal components. Conventional oil is produced from petroleum and has been advanced over the years to resist thermal breakdown better. Ford models with conventional oil have a change interval between 3,000 and 5,000 miles.

Ford Truck Oil Monitoring Pro Tips

Here at Bluebonnet Ford of New Braunfels, we know that driving a hard-working truck comes with the additional recommendation to monitor the oil’s condition and level to identify problems proactively, especially for trucks engaged in severe driving conditions. Ford recommends that vehicles facing severe driving conditions inspect the oil once a month; vehicles not operating in severe conditions can inspect the oil level every 3 months. When inspecting the oil, these are the telltale signs of needing oil change service:

• Oil level low and requires topping off
• Oil is excessively dark, contaminated, black, or sludgy
• Metal shavings in the oil
