1995 Ford Explorer Maintenance

Take care of your Ford Explorer and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Explorer. 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 1995 Ford Explorer!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Explorer's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1995 Ford Explorer problems in the future.

Bring your 1995 Ford Explorer to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Explorer'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 1995 Ford Explorer? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Explorer may need a replacement battery sooner. 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 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 prevent premature wear on your 1995 Ford Explorer engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1995 Explorer. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1995 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! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Ford Explorer 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 Explorer's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Ford Explorer maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Ford Explorer’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Need a new Ford Explorer radiator? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too.
