2017 Ford Flex Oil Change in Fort Worth, TX

Following both maintenance intervals helps support the 3.5-liter V6 in your 2017 Ford Flex. Fort Worth driving can include stop-and-go traffic, hot weather, and towing, all of which make consistent maintenance important. Keep invoices and service entries with the vehicle’s records.

• Install a new oil filter
• Reset the oil-life monitor and check underhood fluids

An oil change at David McDavid Ford includes draining and refilling the engine oil, installing a new oil filter, resetting the oil-life monitor, and checking underhood fluid levels. Oil gradually loses its additive protection and ability to carry heat and debris, so appearance alone is not a reliable maintenance guide.
