2021 Ford EcoSport Maintenance

When it comes to your Ford EcoSport, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your EcoSport 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 EcoSport, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2021 Ford EcoSport maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your EcoSport running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2021 Ford EcoSport problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2021 Ford EcoSport 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your EcoSport's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2021 Ford EcoSport 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 EcoSport 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 EcoSport 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty EcoSport) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford EcoSport 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 prevent premature wear on your 2021 Ford EcoSport engine. See Ford's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2021 EcoSport in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2021 Ford EcoSport? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Ford EcoSport steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Ford EcoSport suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Ford EcoSport's steering system with regular maintenance.
