2002 Ford Excursion Maintenance

Take care of your Ford Excursion and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Excursion could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Excursion maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2002 Ford Excursion!

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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Excursion running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2002 Ford Excursion problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2002 Ford Excursion 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 Excursion's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2002 Ford Excursion? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Excursion 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 Excursion battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. 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 Excursion won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2002 Ford Excursion's engine run smoother. See Ford's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2002 Excursion 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. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2002 Ford Excursion.

Routine upkeep for your Ford Excursion suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Ford Excursion 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 Excursion's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Ford Excursion services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Ford Excursion engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Need a new Ford Excursion radiator? We got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2002 Ford Excursion maintenance.
