Advice From Your Ford Dealer: 5 Helpful Car Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Ford Running Smoothly
1. Rely on Qualified Ford Technicians
The most crucial maintenance tip is to rely on the experts who know your car inside and out. The qualified Ford technicians at our service center offer top-quality maintenance and repair services and use advanced technology and equipment.
Ford specifically trains our Ford technicians to keep your vehicle in excellent running condition. Each Ford technician guarantees the highest quality workmanship and installs genuine Ford parts to ensure optimal vehicle performance.
2. Stick to the Ford Service Schedule
Every Ford model has its own service schedule with factory-recommended maintenance intervals to assist you in keeping your vehicle reliable, durable, fuel-efficient, and safe. The added benefit is that quality maintenance services from qualified Ford technicians will increase your car’s resale value, and you will save money on gas and repairs.
Your vehicle’s service schedule and maintenance interval information are in your Ford owner’s manual. You can also ask your Ford technician to help you with the best maintenance plan for your vehicle.
3. Ensure the Oil Is Changed at the Recommended Intervals
One of the most crucial maintenance tasks is an oil change. The oil keeps the moving parts well-lubricated and reduces friction that causes wear. Regular oil changes at the factory-recommended intervals will keep your engine clean, protected, and running smoothly. Generally, if you drive an older model Ford the oil should be changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
If you drive a newer Ford, the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM) will help you keep track of oil changes by calculating precisely when an oil change is due. When the monitor reaches 5%, ask your technician to perform an oil change. It’s best not to wait for the IOLM to run down to 0% to avoid damage to your engine. After every oil change, your technician will reset the IOLM.
4. Get Regular Quick Lane Multi-Point Inspections
The experts at our Quick Lane are here to help you with all your routine auto maintenance. A Quick Lane multi-point inspection by an experienced and knowledgeable Ford technician takes the guesswork out of vehicle maintenance. The technician will thoroughly inspect your vehicle from top to bottom and check every part and component to determine if repairs or replacements are required.
