Furio101 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 So this morning my car throws up a message saying oil service required.! The car has 5200 miles on it 2.0TDCI 2016. It was service before I picked it up in July at 2600 miles . Is it right that it needs an oil change every 5000k? Seems exssesive to change it so regularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 They probably just forgot to reset the service counter, it's time based as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furio101 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Thanks, ended up calling Ford and they will get a technician to reset it to the correct interval apparently. Garage is on the way home so no dramas. Thought it was strange to be changing oil so early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuha Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 oil should be change every 6000-8000 miles. Especially diesels(turbine don`t like old oils). There is no such a thing like long life oil:) I know what owner manual saying but try to dig subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
