I changed my oil; why is my service oil light on?The service oil light is a reminder to change the oil. After an oil change, this light will go off when the oil life is reset. You can refer to this guide to reset the oil life on your Ford vehicle. Older model Fords may need to be reset differently. Often this can be done by holding down on the brake and gas pedal while turning the ignition to the ON position and holding for about five to ten seconds. How many miles can I drive before my oil needs to be changed and my oil life is up?The oil life percent on Ford is based on an interval of 7,500 – 10,000 miles driven in light conditions. An intelligent monitoring system in place detects when a vehicle has driven in heavy conditions such as towing, steep hills, or offroad, which will decrease oil life, and a typical service interval in those conditions is around 5,000 miles. It is always a safe bet to have the oil changed around 5,000 – 7,500 miles if you want to take extra care. Great maintenance can lead to the longevity of your vehicle.
