2004 Ford Crown Victoria Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Ford Crown Victoria and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Crown Victoria has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Crown Victoria maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2004 Ford Crown Victoria!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Crown Victoria running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2004 Ford Crown Victoria problems in the future.

Bring your 2004 Ford Crown Victoria 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Crown Victoria. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2004 Ford Crown Victoria? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Crown Victoria 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 Crown Victoria) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford Crown Victoria won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2004 Ford Crown Victoria's engine run smoother.

A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2004 Ford Crown Victoria.
