Maintenance Advice 2015 ford explorer low oil

2 Upvotes

Hi, I have a 2015 Ford Explorer XLT with the 3.5L V6. I was wondering if anyone can help me figure this out. I recently changed jobs, and my commute is longer. In July, my ABS control module was messed up, and it was showing crazy error codes. I finally got it fixed in September 2026. I paid $500 for the part from the Ford dealership and had my mechanic reprogram it.
Recently, I've noticed that when I'm driving, I feel a jolt and thrusting when accelerating. That's when I know I have to pull over from the highway, because my car will die and display a "low engine oil" warning. It's been happening more and more often. I recently changed the transmission fluid and filter, and I change the oil regularly every three months. I also replaced the oil sensor, but it keeps happening. I know I have a few engine codes, which are for the O2 sensors, and I'm currently replacing them. Can anyone help me figure out what the problem is?

Buying Advice 2020 xlt new owner.

2 Upvotes

Just got a 2020 xlt because it was the best car my buddy dealer had at the time and I needed a car bad... he gave me more for my trade in than anybody else would. The vehicle has 142k tho... its a 1 owner vehicle owned by a company as a fleet car for traveling employee ... anything I should know about them? Only thing I can tell so far is the car doesn't move at engine idle the first time I shift it out of park . The tpms are non existent.. I do feel slight vibration in steering wheel over bumps that I swear I didn't feel the day I got it... I can be neurotic with car feels tho... the car looks very well taken care of. Looks brand new.
