You want your Ford E-350 Econoline to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your E-350 Econoline has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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-350 Econoline, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 1985 Ford E-350 Econoline maintenance schedule!

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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your E-350 Econoline's life, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1985 Ford E-350 Econoline problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1985 Ford E-350 Econoline for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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 E-350 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 1985 Ford E-350 Econoline be ready for a new battery?

Your Ford E-350 Econoline could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
