What Are the Ford Service Intervals?

How important is maintenance on a Ford? Very! That’s why our service experts create a guide to the Ford maintenance intervals that features the routine tasks that you can expect. These service tasks range from oil changes and filter replacements to tire rotations and more significant services.

Let’s start with the services performed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles, which also includes the above oil changes, filter replacements, and tire rotations:

  • Multi-point inspection
  • Lubricate unsealed joints
  • Brake and parking brake inspections 
  • Exhaust system and cooling system inspections

Once our Ford vehicle hits 100,000 miles, continue your regular service every 7,500 to 10,000 miles, and include the following essential maintenance checks below, so our service experts can check other vital components:

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 accessory drive belts
  • If manual transmission, replace fluid
  • Replace orange coolant
  • Change engine air filter
