2020 Ford Explorer Oil Filter in Fort Worth, TX

Replacing both together removes the debris captured by the old filter. It also helps keep the oil service consistent with the vehicle’s maintenance plan.

• Filter replacement every 10,000 miles
• Debris removed with the old filter
• Filter seal checked after the engine runs

The filter is selected for the engine fitted in the vehicle. The sealing component is renewed when the engine uses one, and the filter seal is inspected after service.

• Filter matched to the engine
• New drain plug gasket or washer where used
• Post-service check for leaks at the filter seal

The engine still receives oil, but the oil may carry debris through the engine instead of having that material held by the filter. Oil that darkens quickly, an oil-pressure warning, or an engine that sounds noisier than usual can warrant inspection.

• Debris remains in the loaded filter
• Unfiltered oil can circulate through the engine
• Warning signs should prompt an inspection

The 2020 Ford Explorer uses engine configurations ranging from 2.3 to 3.3 liters and four to six cylinders. David McDavid Ford selects the filter for the engine actually fitted rather than assuming every Explorer uses the same filter.

• Engine range of 2.3 to 3.3 liters
• Four- to six-cylinder configurations
• Filter selection matched to the installed engine

Keeping a loaded filter in service can allow the bypass valve to open and circulate unfiltered oil. The vehicle’s maintenance schedule and service history help determine when the filter replacement is due.

• Oil filter replacement scheduled every 10,000 miles
• Loaded filters can trigger bypass operation
• Service history helps guide maintenance timing

The service team can match the filter to your engine and replace it alongside the oil. David McDavid Ford is at 300 West Loop 820 South, Fort Worth, TX 76108.
