It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1987 Ford E-150 Econoline!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1987 Ford E-150 Econoline for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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 E-150 Econoline. 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.

Could your 1987 Ford E-150 Econoline be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate.

While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your E-150 Econoline stranded. Your Ford E-150 Econoline won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
