2016 Ford F-150 Maintenance

You want your Ford F-150 to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your F-150 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine F-150 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2016 Ford F-150!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. 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 2016 Ford F-150 problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2016 Ford F-150 and our technicians will jump right in with 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your F-150’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2016 Ford F-150. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your F-150 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford F-150 battery. 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 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.
