Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1989 Ford Bronco!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Bronco perform better, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1989 Ford Bronco problems.

Overview of Essential Ford Bronco Maintenance Needs

Bring your 1989 Ford Bronco to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Bronco's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1989 Ford Bronco. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Bronco may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Bronco battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Bronco) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford Bronco won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1989 Ford Bronco's engine run smoother. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 1989 Bronco, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1989 Ford Bronco? We can help with that, too!

  • When should I have Ford Bronco alignment checked? You know your Ford Bronco 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 should I switch my Ford Bronco to 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 Bronco engines.
  • Can Ford dashboard warning lights wait? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Ford Bronco, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
