Whether you have a new or used Ford vehicle, keeping up with your vehicle’s recommended maintenance schedule is critical to keeping it running like new on the Fort Worth roads. To give you an idea of what should be covered over a certain amount of miles, the service team at Karl Klement Ford has put together a handy Ford service guide to help you stay on top of your recommended service. Keep your vehicle running like new by following the recommended Ford scheduled maintenance guide.
Recommended Ford Service by Mileage
As you put more miles on your vehicle overtime on the Springtown roads, you’ll need to keep up with your recommended service schedule. Routine maintenance tasks such as oil changes, filter replacements, and tire rotations should be done about three-four times a year or about every 7,500-10,000 miles. To give you a better idea of what you should have serviced at certain mileage points, here is what the Ford scheduled maintenance guide recommends:
Every 7,500 to 10,000 Miles:
- Brake and parking brake inspections
- Exhaust system and cooling system inspections
- Multi-point inspection
- Lubricate unsealed joints
Once your vehicle has exceeded the 100,000-mile mark, it becomes even more important to continue following the Ford schedule maintenance guide every 7,500-10,000 miles. When your vehicle passes 100,000 miles on the odometer, you’ll want to be sure to include the following services on your routine service:
Every 100,000 miles:
- Replace spark plugs
Every 120,000 miles:
- Replace engine air filter
Every 140,000 miles:
- Inspect accessory drive belts
Every 150,000 miles:
- Replace orange coolant
- Change engine air filter
- Replace accessory drive belts
- If manual transmission, replace fluid
Extended Ford Service & Warranty Coverage Recommendations
While keeping up with your recommended Ford service, it’s also important to remember that you have extra protection with the Ford 3-year/36,000-mile factory warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. For even more coverage on the Boyd roads, you can choose from four different Ford service plans that offer plenty of great perks. Here are the four different Ford service plans:
- ExtraCARE: Includes coverage for 113 tech-related components and other features like keyless entry and power window motors.
- PremiumCARE: Covers over 1,000 different Ford components.
- PowertrainCARE: Covers 29 Ford components within the engine, transmission, RWD, and FWD.
- BaseCARE: Covers 84 different Ford components including the steering, brakes, front suspension, A/C, heating, and electrical components.
- Turn all systems of your car off, but leave the engine running.
- Locate the “reset” button or stick on the dashboard. It’s often found near the speedometer and fuel gauge.
- Press and hold the button until the oil change light starts to flash. Keep in mind indication of the change light resetting may differ depending on the vehicle.
- Shut off the engine for a few seconds, then turn the car back on.
