What to Know About 1991 Ford F-150 Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Ford F-150 and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your F-150 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. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine F-150 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1991 Ford F-150!

Ford knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; 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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your F-150 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1991 Ford F-150 problems.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Ford F-150 Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1991 Ford F-150 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your F-150'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 1991 Ford F-150? 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). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford F-150 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. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty F-150) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford F-150 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 1991 F-150, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 1991 Ford F-150.
