1987 Ford Country Squire Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Ford Country Squire, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Country Squire could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Country Squire maintenance. Just follow your 1987 Ford Country Squire maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Country Squire's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1987 Ford Country Squire problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1987 Ford Country Squire and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Country Squire. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1987 Ford Country Squire. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Country Squire may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Country Squire 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 Country Squire stranded. Your Ford Country Squire won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1987 Ford Country Squire running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1987 Country Squire. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1987 Ford Country Squire.
