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, 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your F-150's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2006 Ford F-150 problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2006 Ford F-150 and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. 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.

Could your 2006 Ford F-150 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Ford F-150 battery. 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your F-150 stranded. Your Ford F-150 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2006 Ford F-150 engine.

Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle.
