Overview of Essential Ford Aerostar Maintenance Needs

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1990 Ford Aerostar and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Aerostar’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1990 Ford Aerostar be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Aerostar may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Aerostar battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Aerostar stranded. Your Ford Aerostar could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1990 Ford Aerostar engine. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 1990 Aerostar, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1990 Ford Aerostar? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Ford Aerostar suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Ford Aerostar steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Ford Aerostar's steering system require regular maintenance.

Take an active role in maintaining your 1990 Ford Aerostar. Get answers to common Ford Aerostar maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Ford Aerostar? You know your Ford Aerostar better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When does my Ford Aerostar need high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Ford Aerostar engines.
  • Can Ford dashboard warning lights wait? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Ford Aerostar in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
