Services to Check Regularly for Your Ford
It’s important to keep your tires at the PSI level that’s listed in your owner’s manual. Check tire pressure monthly, and also search each tire for signs of damage.
Once a month, it’s a good idea to check the level and condition of your car’s fluids, including the brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, motor oil, power steering fluid, differential fluid, and windshield wiper fluid. It’s better for your car if these fluids are not leaking. If there are issues with your fluids, top them up or flush them if necessary.
Check your owner’s manual for recommendations on oil changes, as well as when your car’s tires should be rotated. Have a technician inspect your brakes routinely as well. With a brake check, they should remove and examine each component while checking for brake fluid leaks.
All belts and hoses in your car should also be inspected on a regular basis for signs of fraying, loosening, or leaking.
Ask a technician about when a good time for maintenance on spark plugs is. Have them check the ignition coils, fuel injectors, and other components. These parts can be examined, tested, and replaced if necessary. In some cases, the cabin air filter and windshield wipers will need to be replaced once a year.
Also have your headlights, taillights, and external lights checked yearly, along with the battery and other parts of the electrical system. The exhaust should be examined each year.
In the longer term, your transmission and coolant will need to be serviced. The timing belt and drive belt will eventually need to be replaced, although these belts can last for a number of years.
