Ford Maintenance Made Simple: 4 Service Must Haves

Stick To The Basics: How To Keep Your Ford In Peak Shape

You already know your vehicle needs maintenance to function—but have you ever wondered which Ford services are the most important? We have you covered, as today, we’ll let you know the four absolute maintenance must-haves to help ensure your ride runs like new for many years and miles ahead. To get started, schedule your service online at Spitzer Ford DuBois, your local Ford service center near Osceola Mills, PA.

The Top Four: Schedule These Services ASAP

If there was one maintenance that was absolutely critical in allowing your Ford vehicle to function, it’s a Ford oil change every 7,500-10,000 miles. In fact, this simple service can also help you save thousands of dollars in repairs since the oil lubricates your engine parts, which prevents premature wear and tear that otherwise leads to a slippery slope of issues. Plus, you’ll help your vehicle optimally cool, which helps you avoid overheating after a day at the track in your Mustang or an epic cross-country road trip in your Expedition.

Another service you won’t want to avoid involves your tires—after all, these four components are the only part of your vehicle that touches the road, and as such, are responsible for the bulk of your safety and performance. For a quick trick, place a penny head-first into a tire groove—if you see the top of Lincoln’s head, it’s time for a new set of tires, as your tread has worn too low, and you’re at an elevated risk of hydroplaning or slamming into the bumper ahead when you attempt to brake.

Speaking of stopping, don’t forget to also schedule a Ford brake service every 40,000-60,000 miles (sooner if you drive more often or in aggressive conditions). If you ignore this service, you’re not only greeted with a symphony of cacophony filled with screeching and grinding sounds but you’ll also experience issues in stopping where you plan, potentially leading to fender benders.

Lastly, schedule a battery check for your ride every three years. While your power source isn’t always at the top of mind, it’s never fun to be late for an appointment because your engine refused to crank—or getting stuck in a parking lot needing to ask for a jump start. Thankfully, our technicians can let you know if it’s time for a replacement or recharge to help you avoid the above situations.
