1994 Ford Escort Maintenance

When it comes to your Ford Escort, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Escort 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. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Escort maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1994 Ford Escort!

Ford knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; 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 Escort's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1994 Ford Escort problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1994 Ford Escort for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Escort. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1994 Ford Escort? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford Escort 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Ford Escort won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1994 Ford Escort's engine run smoother. See Ford's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1994 Escort in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1994 Ford Escort? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Ford Escort suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Ford Escort steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Ford Escort's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Ford Escort services, you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Ford Escort’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Ford Escort? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too.
