Should the Ford Kuga Prompt for Engine Oil Replacement?
2 Answers
Reasons why the Ford Kuga prompts for engine oil replacement: The vehicle's set maintenance mileage has been reached, requiring maintenance and oil change to cancel the prompt. Method to eliminate the maintenance prompt: Press the start button to power on the trip computer for self-check, and the dashboard will display "Engine oil needs replacement." Simultaneously press the brake pedal and accelerator pedal (engine not started). After holding them down, the dashboard will display "resetinprong." Continue holding for about 20 seconds until the dashboard no longer shows any progress bar, then keep holding until the central dashboard displays "resetcomplete." Turn off and restart the car to eliminate the maintenance prompt. Consequences of not replacing engine oil for a long time: If the oil is not replaced for an extended period, it will deteriorate, losing its protective function and reducing lubrication effectiveness. This leads to severe wear of internal engine components, a significant decrease in cooling performance, difficulty in dissipating heat inside the engine, and may cause "engine seizure."
I've been driving a Ford Kuga for a while now, and the dashboard occasionally lights up with a prompt indicating that the engine oil needs to be changed. The system is quite intelligent, calculating the oil life based on the mileage I've driven and my driving habits. Usually, when this prompt appears, it means the oil has been used for a long time and has become dirty, and if not changed, the engine may experience increased wear. Every time I see the light come on, I check the owner's manual to confirm the maintenance interval. I immediately go to the 4S shop or find a mechanic to change the oil, avoiding the risk of turning it into a bigger problem. Paying attention to this small detail can help keep the car running longer and prevent safety hazards like breaking down on the road. Regular maintenance is really important.
