2018 Ford Taurus Oil Filter

The 2018 Ford Taurus is a V6 sedan with a 3.5-liter engine designed for everyday driving in Mesa, AZ. Larry H.

Replacing the oil filter helps keep the oil circulating through the engine filtered as intended. The manufacturer's maintenance schedule calls for oil filter replacement every 10,000 miles. Drivers can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, Arizona.
What an oil filter replacement on a 2018 Ford Taurus involves
An oil filter replacement for a 2018 Ford Taurus begins with a filter matched to the engine actually fitted to the vehicle and to its specification. Using the correct filter supports the intended flow and filtration characteristics for this V6 engine. During the service, the existing filter is replaced alongside the engine oil. Where the engine uses one, a new drain plug gasket or washer is fitted to help support a proper seal at the drain point.
After the oil and filter work is complete, the engine is run and the filter seal is checked for leaks. That final check matters because a seal that does not hold can allow oil to escape after the vehicle leaves the service area. The manufacturer's maintenance schedule calls for replacing the oil filter every 10,000 miles. If your vehicle is due for this maintenance, schedule service or review current service specials before visiting Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa.
Why the filter matters on a 2018 Ford Taurus
The 2018 Ford Taurus uses a 3.5-liter, six-cylinder V6 engine. As engine oil moves through the engine, it carries debris toward the oil filter. The filter holds that debris so the oil can continue circulating through the engine with filtration in place. Over time, the filter loads with the material it has captured. That is why the filter is replaced with the oil instead of being stretched across two oil changes.
When a filter becomes loaded, its bypass valve opens. This does not mean the engine stops receiving oil; it means the engine can receive oil that is no longer being filtered. That change can happen quietly, without an immediate dramatic symptom. An oil-pressure warning, an engine that sounds noisier than usual, or oil that darkens quickly after a change can all be reasons to arrange an inspection. The manufacturer's schedule specifies oil filter replacement every 10,000 miles for this model year.
