Ford Motor Company recommends changing your oil and filter every 5,000 miles or
six months. However, you should change them every 3,000 miles or three months
if you: 
Motorcraft oils are engineered and recommended by Ford Motor Company. They're made with the finest base oils refined using a revolutionary process known as hydrocracking. This process dissolves unstable oil molecules before they can decompose in a car's engine. The result is a base oil that's so pure, it's crystal clear. These oils dramatically outperform and out-protect standard solvent-refined oils. 
Motorcraft oil filters
do the dirty work. Engineered specifically for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles, each Motorcraft oil filter uses as many as 12 high-quality components. They feature: Steel Cases - "Ironed" for a precise fit, fluted to ease removal and painted for rust-resistance. Testing at extreme conditions proves that Motorcraft filters will outperform lesser filters, which could leak, crack or rupture. Pressure Relief Valve - When it's cold outside or if the filter becomes clogged, oil flow through the filter can be reduced. If this happens, the relief valve opens to provide a continuous oil supply. Its design also minimizes the chance of contaminated oil recirculating back into the engine. Anti-Drainback Valve - This feature keeps oil in the filter to prevent "dry starts" after your engine has been turned off. It's made with specially formulated material that resists the aging effects that an engine's heat can cause. Efficient Filter Media - Re-engineered media increases Motorcraft filters' dirt-collecting capability, allowing them to capture more engine-harming particles than ever before. Engine oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle. Changing it regularly helps ensure the thorough lubrication of your engine's most vital components. This in turn helps the performance of your engine and can even give your engine a longer life. |
