2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Maintenance Schedule

You want your Ford Explorer Sport Trac to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Explorer Sport Trac could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Explorer Sport Trac maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Explorer Sport Trac perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Explorer Sport Trac’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Explorer Sport Trac battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 Explorer Sport Trac won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac running newer, longer. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 2010 Explorer Sport Trac, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
