What an oil filter replacement on a 2020 Ford Explorer involves
An oil filter replacement on a 2020 Ford Explorer begins with a filter matched to the engine’s specification. Because this model is offered with engine sizes from 2.3 to 3.3 liters and four to six cylinders across its trims, matching the filter to the engine actually fitted is an important part of the service. The technician also replaces the drain plug gasket or washer when that engine uses one, helping renew the sealing surface during the oil service.
After the new filter and oil are installed, the engine is run so the filter seal can be checked for leaks. This final check helps confirm that the service area is sealing properly before the vehicle leaves. The manufacturer’s maintenance schedule states that the oil filter is replaced every 10,000 miles for this model year. To have the filter replaced with the oil, schedule service at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa.
Why the filter matters on a 2020 Ford Explorer
The oil filter holds the debris that engine oil picks up as it circulates through the engine. The 2020 Ford Explorer uses engine choices ranging from 2.3 to 3.3 liters and four to six cylinders, so the filter must suit the engine installed in the vehicle. Clean oil circulation matters because the filter is the component that captures suspended material before it continues through the lubrication system.
As a filter loads with debris, its bypass valve opens. That allows oil to keep circulating, but it also means the engine is receiving oil that is not being filtered. A loaded filter does not stop the engine getting oil; it stops the engine getting filtered oil, and that is worse in a quiet way. This is why the filter is replaced with the oil rather than stretched across two changes. The manufacturer’s schedule calls for filter replacement every 10,000 miles on this model year.
