I recently purchased a Ford Transit Custom and was wondering if anyone could provide me with step by step instructions on how to change the oil. It's my first time owning a Ford car, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
ReplyHi Samantha, changing the oil on a Ford Transit Custom is fairly simple and can be done at home with the right tools. First, make sure the car is on a flat surface and the engine is cool. Then, locate the oil drain plug underneath the car and place a drain pan underneath. Remove the plug and let the old oil drain out completely. Next, remove the old oil filter and replace it with a new one. Finally, add the new oil through the oil filler cap under the hood. Make sure to check the owner's manual for the correct type and amount of oil to use. Don't forget to dispose of the old oil properly!
Hey Samantha, as a longtime Ford owner, I've learned a few tips for changing the oil on a Ford Transit Custom. Make sure to warm up the engine for a few minutes prior to draining the oil, as this will help it flow out easier. Also, when tightening the drain plug, be careful not to overtighten it as it can strip the threads. And don't forget to check the oil level once you're done to ensure it's at the proper level.
