2025 Ford Explorer Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Ford Explorer and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Explorer could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. 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 2025 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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like 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, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2025 Ford Explorer problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2025 Ford Explorer and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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 2025 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Explorer) stuck in the middle of nowhere. 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 2025 Ford Explorer's engine run smoother. See Ford's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2025 Explorer in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 2025 Ford Explorer.

Routine upkeep for your Ford Explorer suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Ford Explorer steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. 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 (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. 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.
