Why regular oil changes matter
Routine oil changes are the foundation of long-term engine health, fuel efficiency, and overall driving performance. Fresh motor oil creates a crucial barrier between fast-moving internal components, reducing friction, carrying away combustion heat, and preventing harmful sludge deposits. This protection is especially vital given the extreme weather variations we experience in Troy, MI—from freezing winter cold starts to humid summer highway travel along I-75, M-59, and Big Beaver Road.
The Dean Sellers Ford advantage
When you choose our Troy service center, you benefit from factory-trained technicians who specialize in the unique engineering of Ford vehicles. Whether you drive a high-torque EcoBoost® F-150, a family-friendly Explorer, or a Bronco, we exclusively utilize genuine Motorcraft® synthetic blend and full synthetic oils paired with OEM Motorcraft® filters featuring silicone anti-drainback valves for maximum engine protection.
Beyond routine oil changes, we offer a comprehensive suite of automotive services to support your ownership experience. Every visit includes a complimentary multi-point inspection covering tire wear, brake pads, battery health, and fluid levels to catch minor issues before they turn into costly repairs, giving you complete confidence whether running local errands or taking long weekend trips across Michigan.

When to schedule your oil change
Check your dashboard alerts
Modern Ford vehicles feature Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™ (IOLM) systems that analyze engine revolutions, towing loads, and operating temperatures to alert you when service is due. When your dashboard displays an "Oil Change Required" message, schedule your appointment or visit our daily first-come, first-served lane.
Monitor your oil levels
Pulling your oil dipstick during routine gas fill-ups gives a clear view of fluid health. If the level is consistently dropping or the oil appears dark, gritty, and sludgy rather than translucent golden-amber, fresh motor oil and a new filter are necessary for proper lubrication.
Listen for engine noise
Fresh motor oil dampens internal valvetrain noise. If you notice loud metallic ticking at start-up, harsh idling vibration, or increased engine roaring while accelerating, degraded oil may no longer be providing adequate friction protection.
Observe your model-year mileage
Ford recommends changing your oil every 7,500 miles or six months (whichever comes first) for 2008 and newer model-year vehicles. For 2007 and older vehicles, Ford recommends oil service every 5,000 miles or six months. If you are unsure about your current status, our Troy service advisors are happy to help.

In addition to our certified service center and dedicated parts department, we offer an extensive selection of new Ford vehicles, reliable used cars, and Ford Blue Advantage Gold or EV Certified pre-owned models whenever you are ready to upgrade your ride.

Book an AppointmentFrequently Asked Questions About Oil Changes in Troy, MI
How often should I change my oil?
Ford's official maintenance schedule depends on your vehicle's model year. For 2008 and newer model-year Ford vehicles, changing your oil every 7,500 miles or six months (whichever comes first) is recommended. For 2007 and older vehicles, Ford recommends changing your oil every 5,000 miles or six months. Vehicles driven under severe conditions—such as heavy towing, frequent idling, or severe Michigan winter weather—may require more frequent care.
Do you use genuine Ford parts for oil changes?
Yes, our service center at Dean Sellers Ford exclusively uses genuine Motorcraft® OEM oil filters and factory-approved Motorcraft® synthetic blend or full synthetic motor oils engineered specifically for your Ford engine to ensure maximum efficiency, filtration, and warranty protection.
Can I schedule my service appointment online?
Yes, you can schedule your service appointment online 24/7 through our website portal. Please note that due to high service volume, scheduled appointments are often booked several weeks out. However, we also offer daily first-come, first-served walk-in service for oil changes and Work Packages if you are willing to wait while work is completed in the order received.
What other services do you offer besides oil changes?
Our full-service maintenance center provides a complete range of vehicle care, including tire rotations and balancing, wheel alignments, brake pad and rotor replacements, battery testing and installation, cabin and engine air filter replacements, transmission flushes, and comprehensive multi-point safety inspections.
What are the benefits of choosing synthetic motor oil for my Ford during an oil change?
Full synthetic motor oil provides superior resistance to thermal breakdown, resists engine sludge accumulation, and flows instantly during sub-zero Michigan winter morning cold starts. Full synthetic lubricants are especially beneficial for turbocharger protection in EcoBoost® engines and high-load towing in F-Series trucks.
Do you work on all Ford models?
Yes! Our certified technicians are factory-trained to service the entire Ford lineup, including EcoBoost® sedans, crossovers, transit vans, performance cars like the Mustang, and heavy-duty trucks like the F-150 and Super Duty series.
Why is it important to use the correct oil type?
Using the exact motor oil viscosity weight specified by Ford (such as 5W-20, 5W-30, or 0W-20) is essential for maintaining proper internal hydraulic pressure, protecting turbochargers, maximizing fuel economy, and ensuring long-term engine durability under temperature extremes.
What should I do if my oil pressure light comes on?
If your red oil pressure warning light illuminates on your dashboard, safely pull over and turn off your engine immediately. Running an engine with critically low oil pressure can cause severe, irreversible internal damage. Contact our Troy service center or roadside assistance for guidance before continuing to drive.
Does Dean Sellers Ford offer certified pre-owned Ford vehicles?
Yes! We offer an outstanding selection of Ford Blue Advantage Certified Pre-Owned vehicles that have passed a comprehensive multi-point inspection, include comprehensive limited warranty coverage, and feature 24/7 roadside assistance for total peace of mind.
