1999 Ford E-150 Econoline Maintenance

When it comes to your Ford E-150 Econoline, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your E-150 Econoline. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your E-150 Econoline, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1999 Ford E-150 Econoline!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves. 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 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 maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1999 Ford E-150 Econoline problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1999 Ford E-150 Econoline 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. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1999 Ford E-150 Econoline? 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford E-150 Econoline battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Ford E-150 Econoline could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1999 Ford E-150 Econoline's engine run smoother. See Ford's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1999 E-150 Econoline in the chart at the top 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. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1999 Ford E-150 Econoline.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Ford E-150 Econoline can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.
