2015 Ford Explorer Maintenance

You want your Ford Explorer to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Explorer. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Explorer maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2015 Ford Explorer!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes 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 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2015 Ford Explorer problems in the future.

Bring your 2015 Ford Explorer to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2015 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). 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. 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 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 2015 Ford Explorer's engine run smoother. See Ford's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2015 Explorer in the chart at the top of this page. 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2015 Ford Explorer? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Ford Explorer can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Ford Explorer steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Ford Explorer's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Ford Explorer maintenance, 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!). 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 it time to replace the radiator in your Ford Explorer? We’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2015 Ford Explorer maintenance.

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