What is the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor System in my Ford?
The Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor® system calculates oil change service intervals based on your vehicle's use, operating conditions, and time since the last oil service. It will alert you when to change your engine oil by showing one of the following messages on your cluster display:
- Change Engine Oil Soon: This indicates the vehicle has about 5% oil-life left, and the oil and filter should be replaced soon.
- Oil Change Required: The vehicle has no oil-life remaining, and the oil and filter should be replaced now.
Contact your Ford Dealer to schedule an appointment. For information specific to your vehicle and maintenance intervals, refer to your Owner's Manual.
