Scheduled Maintenance for Your 2013 Ford Expedition

How often should I service my 2013 Ford Expedition?

Here’s Why 2013 Ford Expedition Scheduled Maintenance Matters

Take care of your Ford Expedition and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Expedition. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Expedition, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2013 Ford Expedition 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 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 Expedition's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2013 Ford Expedition problems later.

Overview of Essential Ford Expedition Maintenance Needs

Bring your 2013 Ford Expedition to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Expedition. 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 2013 Ford Expedition? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Expedition may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford Expedition 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 Expedition won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

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 2013 Ford Expedition engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2013 Expedition. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2013 Ford Expedition.

Routine upkeep for your Ford Expedition 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! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Ford Expedition 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 Expedition's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Ford Expedition 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. 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 Expedition engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Need a new Ford Expedition radiator? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2013 Ford Expedition maintenance.

So visit us regularly, or visit us urgently. Many locations are open on weekends and in the evening.

2013 Ford Expedition Maintenance Questions

Take an active role in maintaining your 2013 Ford Expedition. Get answers to common Ford Expedition maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • When should I have Ford Expedition alignment checked? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When does my Ford Expedition need high mileage oil? Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Ford Expedition engines.
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Ford? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Ford Expedition, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
