How often should you get an oil change?

• Follow the interval recommended in your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s maintenance minder; many modern engines with synthetic oil run 7,500–10,000 miles between changes under normal driving, while severe conditions require more frequent service.
• Severe service—towing, frequent short trips, extreme temperatures, or heavy idling—shortens intervals; Coggin Ford Jacksonville can evaluate your driving habits and recommend the right schedule.
• Keeping a consistent service record at the dealership protects warranty coverage and maintains vehicle resale value with documented factory maintenance.

What type of oil does a 2020 Ford Ranger take?

• Use Ford-approved motor oil and the grade specified in the owner’s manual for the 2.3L turbocharged engine; our service advisors confirm the exact specification for each vehicle.
• For turbocharged engines, Ford-approved synthetic oils are strongly recommended to provide better thermal stability and turbocharger protection under higher temperatures.
• Coggin Ford Jacksonville uses OEM-spec oils and genuine filters to meet Ford standards; using certified parts helps preserve performance, longevity, and warranty eligibility.

How much oil does a 2020 Ford Ranger need?

• Most 2.3L turbo engines take approximately 5 to 6 quarts with a filter change, but exact capacity depends on the vehicle configuration—your owner’s manual and our service department provide the precise specification.
• Our technicians top off to the manufacturer’s recommended level and verify via dipstick or electronic monitoring systems to ensure correct fill and avoid over- or under-filling.
• Accurate oil volume control and use of the correct oil type help protect the turbocharger, deliver intended power and torque, and prevent premature wear.
