Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1988 Ford E-350 Econoline.

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

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 1988 Ford E-350 Econoline.
