1997 Ford E-350 Econoline Maintenance

Take care of your Ford E-350 Econoline and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your E-350 Econoline could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1997 Ford E-350 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, recommended maintenance usually includes 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-350 Econoline perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1997 Ford E-350 Econoline problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1997 Ford E-350 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. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1997 Ford E-350 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your E-350 Econoline may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Ford E-350 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. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your E-350 Econoline stranded. Your Ford E-350 Econoline won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
