Ford Oil Change
Ford Engines - Replace oil at regular service intervals. Good Engine Oil protects metal surfaces, reducing friction, and has anti-corrosion chemicals able to protect for 5000 miles or more.
Ford Filter Change

Ford Air Filter, Fuel Filter, Pollen-Dust Filter
Renew the filters as required; to optimise engine performance. Filters build up dirt. Consult your Ford Service Manual for correct filter replacement intervals
