2023 Ford Explorer Maintenance Schedule

You want your Ford Explorer to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Explorer. 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 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2023 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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. 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 2023 Ford Explorer problems in the future.

Bring your 2023 Ford Explorer to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. 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 2023 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. 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 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2023 Ford Explorer running newer, longer. See Ford's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2023 Explorer in the chart at the top of this page. 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2023 Ford Explorer? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Ford Explorer suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, 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. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Ford Explorer's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Ford Explorer maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally!
