1988 Ford Aerostar Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Ford? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Ford Aerostar? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Aerostar’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Aerostar's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 1988 Aerostar’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Ford. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Ford Aerostar? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ford Aerostar, potentially causing transmission problems.
