1993 Ford Explorer Maintenance Schedule

You want your Ford Explorer to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Explorer could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Explorer, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1993 Ford Explorer!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves. 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; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Explorer running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1993 Ford Explorer problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1993 Ford Explorer for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Explorer’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1993 Ford Explorer be ready for a new battery? 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Explorer battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Explorer stranded. Your Ford Explorer could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1993 Ford Explorer's engine run smoother. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 1993 Explorer, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1993 Ford Explorer.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Ford Explorer can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Ford Explorer suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Ford Explorer's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Ford Explorer 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 Explorer engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Ford Explorer radiator in need of replacement? We’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We'll fix it.
