2018 Ford Flex Oil Change

Following the manufacturer’s mileage schedule helps keep the 3.5-liter V6 properly lubricated. Oil can lose its ability to carry heat and debris before it looks dirty, so mileage and time matter more than appearance alone. Fort Worth stop-and-go traffic, Texas heat, dust, and towing can place additional demands on engine oil.

• Engine oil change: every 10,000 miles
• Oil filter replacement: every 7,500 miles
