2007 Ford Explorer Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Ford Explorer and it'll take care of you. 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. Just follow your 2007 Ford Explorer maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like 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 Explorer's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2007 Ford Explorer problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2007 Ford Explorer 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. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2007 Ford Explorer. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford Explorer 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. 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 2007 Ford Explorer's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2007 Explorer. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 2007 Ford Explorer.
