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

Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your E-250 Econoline's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1998 Ford E-250 Econoline problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1998 Ford E-250 Econoline 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your E-250 Econoline’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1998 Ford E-250 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-250 Econoline may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford E-250 Econoline battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak.

Your Ford E-250 Econoline could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
