1989 Ford E-150 Econoline Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Ford E-150 Econoline to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your E-150 Econoline has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more.

Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1989 Ford E-150 Econoline!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer. 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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your E-150 Econoline perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1989 Ford E-150 Econoline problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1989 Ford E-150 Econoline and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your E-150 Econoline’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1989 Ford E-150 Econoline be ready for a new battery? 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your E-150 Econoline may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford E-150 Econoline battery. 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 E-150 Econoline stranded. Your Ford E-150 Econoline won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
