Can Fords get engine sludge?

Ford Escort engine sludge happens when motor oil breaks down, thickens and gathers debris. The goop can damage your engine and lead to overheating. Work to prevent engine sludge by investing in routine oil changes, using Ford-approved oil, and avoiding short trips.

Is Ford's recommended maintenance really that important?

Yes! Ford has written a maintenance schedule for your Escort. Since they made your vehicle, they know it well! Your manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule gives you solid guidelines for the frequency of specific services, and it can help you know when to replace certain parts before they cause secondary issues in your car.

What should I tell the technician when I bring my Ford to the shop?

No one likes having to get repair service on their trusty Ford Escort, but you can help minimize the hassle. As soon as you notice something that doesn’t seem right in your vehicle, make a note of the date and what happens (and write it down so you don’t forget!). Are there new noises coming from the engine? Does something smell funny in your A/C vents? The more information you can give to your technician, the better! We’ll be able to find the root of the problem quickly and address it before it gets any worse.

Repairs for Your Ford Escort Radiator

The radiator is an important piece of your vehicle’s cooling system. It ensures that your engine stays within an optimal temperature range while it’s running.

To properly maintain your radiator, you should replace the coolant/antifreeze in your 2000 Ford Escort at the intervals recommended by Ford. You might need radiator repair if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light.
