Why is it important to regularly maintain the Ford S-Max's engine oil level?

I recently purchased a Ford S-Max and I'm not sure how often I need to check and replenish the engine oil. I've heard it's important for the car's overall performance, but I'm not sure why. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Regularly checking and maintaining the engine oil level can help prevent engine damage and extend the life of your Ford S-Max. It lubricates the engine components and helps keep them running smoothly. I recommend checking your oil level once a month and topping off as needed.

Having the correct amount of oil in your engine ensures that it is properly cooled and prevents overheating. It also helps with fuel efficiency. I suggest checking your oil level every time before you go on a long trip.

Not checking and maintaining the engine oil level can result in costly repairs and even engine failure. Make sure to follow the recommended check and refill schedule in your Ford S-Max's manual.
