Is it time for an oil change at your Ford dealer? Obviously, if your oil change light has come on or you've noticed a big puddle of oil in your driveway, it's probably time. Here are some of the other, less obvious ways to tell. more How to Tell You Need an Oil Change from Your Ford Dealer It's Been At Least Six Months Depending on the exact model you have and how old it is, as well as whether you're using regular oil or synthetic, you'll usually want to have the oil changed every six months to one year. If you have a newer model, you have synthetic oil, and you don't drive under difficult conditions, you may be able to go as long as a year. But if you do a lot of towing or hauling, if you drive in particularly dirty and dusty environments, or if most of your drives are short drives of 5 miles or less, you're putting extra strain on the engine and you'll want to change out the oil on time. It's Been Around 7,500 Miles You'll notice that your owner's manual tells you to change the oil every X number of miles or Y number of months. That's because some people will drive 5000 miles in just three months while others will take six or eight months to get there. Check your owner's manual to know for sure what's right for you, but, in general, most modern Fords need the oil changed right around 7,500 miles. Once you have come to see us a few times, we'll have a good idea of your engine and driving habits and will be able to give you even more specific advice. There's New Noises You drive all the time, so you should be very familiar with the sounds your car makes. If you notice some strange new ones, and particularly any knocking or grinding, this could be happening because the oil is old. Basically, it is losing some of its protective properties and is no longer lubricating the way it should. You Smell Burning in the Cabin If there's oil leaking within the engine, it won't necessarily all go out onto the ground. Sometimes the oil leaks onto the engine itself, and then it burns away as the engine heats up. When this happens, you'll smell burning. If it's time to swap out your oil for a fresh new batch, come see our experts at Jack Madden Ford in Norwood, MA today.

Get the all new Ford Bronco in red from Jack Madden Ford. Ford is often considered the GOAT of the auto industry. But what exactly are these Ford GOAT modes now available on select vehicles, and how do they help this juggernaut make the case for being the greatest of all time? The Ford Bronco SUV has gained a well-deserved reputation as an off-roading king. It's become such an icon in this sector that numerous variants have spun off, including two-door, four-door, Heritage, Heritage Limited Edition, and the super high-performance Bronco Sport. Ford has taken this premium ride to the next level with its all-terrain management system. more While the moniker GOAT's assumed different meanings in recent years, for the Ford system bearing its name, these letters make a simple but powerful statement: Goes Over Any Type of Terrain. And that's exactly what you get with Broncos backed by G.O.A.T. With the following modes, you'll enjoy an optimal and seamless steering, shifting, braking, throttle, and overall performance experience. Normal The default mode of the Bronco is your go-to for basic daily driving. It balances your power and your fuel economy equally to get you capably and reliably to work, to home, or on your daily errands around town. Eco If you're worried about maximizing fuel economy and getting the most out of gas mileage, this efficiency-focused mode is the way to go. That EcoBoost engine's prowess is put to the test as it works hand-in-hand with this mode's transmission and shifting optimization magic. Sport Shifting gets hyped up in this mode that prioritizes performance and thrills over all else. Holding those gears longer and adjusting accelerator pedal responses helps you achieve lightning-fast acceleration. Slippery If you're navigating a rainy, icy, or similar environment with low traction, this mode will tackle your problem pathway with confidence. It provides enhanced traction by adjusting shifting, lowering the volume on throttle response, and utilizing 4WD Auto. Sand/Snow This mode takes advantage of 4WD High, locking front and rear differentials, throttle response adjustments, a front trail camera, and more to traverse significant snow, gravel, unpacked sand, and other softer surfaces. Available Additional Modes If you have invested in certain Broncos like the Badlands and the First Edition, you'll have access to exclusive modes such as Mud/Ruts, Rock/Crawl, and Baja. You'll find the former most invaluable if you get stuck in a mud pit or another difficult-to-leave environment. It takes advantage of default 4WD High and rear differential locking engagement. Rock/Crawl also engages rear differential and 4WD locks, as well as low-range torque and other transmission or throttle adjustments, to climb rocky or steep incline terrains. Baja, on the other hand, is made for looser terrain. With its improved suspension and more vigorous torque and throttle, Baja is high-performance for off-roaders. Drive like a GOAT with Ford's eight available all-terrain modes. Drop by Jack Madden Ford Sales and test out a fully-decked and ultra-prepped Bronco for yourself.
