Ford Service Checklist

When it comes to Ford service, every vehicle has its own recommended maintenance schedule. Is your vehicle getting the maintenance it needs? We've put together a service checklist at Folsom Lake Ford to help you know where to start.

Engine Oil Change

As your engine oil ages, it can't flow freely in your vehicle, which can lead to excessive heat and friction. Generally, your oil needs to be replaced every 7,500 miles, or twice a year. This guideline can vary based on what type of oil you utilize and your driving conditions.

Filter Replacement

Your vehicle has an oil filter that helps to keep impurities out of your oil. During oil changes, you will typically also need a filter replacement. If your filter becomes too worn, it can actually restrict airflow, diminishing your vehicle's performance. 

Tire Rotation

Vehicles typically need a tire rotation every 7,500 miles. This process includes exchanging your tires' positions on your vehicle. Without routine rotations, your tires can wear down unevenly, which can leave you prone to flat tires.

Brake Inspection

It's also critical to have your brakes routinely inspected to ensure they're working optimally. We'll check for excessive brake pad and rotor wear, as well, in case a replacement is due. If you ever need new parts, we'll always replace them with genuine Ford parts at our service center.

Fluid Level Check

In addition to oil, there are many other fluids in your vehicle, which each have a different replacement schedule. We'll check these fluid levels at each appointment to make sure they are at their optimal level. These fluids include:

• Brake fluid
• Coolant
• Transmission fluid
• Power steering fluid
• Windshield wiper fluid

Multi-Point Inspection

With their many components, vehicles are undeniably complex. Even with routine care, issues can pop up. At service appointments, we'll also conduct a multi-point inspection looking for any signs of unusual wear or damage.
