Ford E-Series Oil Reset

Ford E-Series Oil Reset

The Ford E series (also known as the Ford Econoline and Ford Club Wagon throughout various stages of its production) is a range of full-size vans produced by the American automaker Ford since 1960. Introduced for the 1961 model year as the replacement for the Ford F-series panel van, four generations of the model line have been produced. In addition to cargo van and passenger van body styles, the Ford E series has been produced as a cutaway van chassis and stripped chassis.

With a 56-year production run, the Ford E series is the second longest-produced nameplate by Ford worldwide; only the Ford F series (1948–present) has been produced longer. For the 2015 model year, the Ford E series cargo/passenger vans were replaced in North America by the Ford Transit introduced worldwide in 2013. As of the 2017 model year, only cutaway and stripped chassis configurations of the E series are produced.

Since 2006, the E series has been assembled at the Ford Motor Company Ohio Assembly plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. From 1961 to 2005, the Ford E series was assembled at Lorain Assembly in Lorain, Ohio.

Prior to its discontinuation, the Ford E-series cargo/passenger van was the best-selling full-size van in the United States since 1980; in 2007, the model held a 79.6% share of the full-size van segment.[2] Commercial or fleet users represented 95% of sales, with cargo vans accounting for nearly half of production.
