Here’s Why 2021 Ford F-150 Scheduled Maintenance Matters

You want your Ford F-150 to last as long as possible. With proactive 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. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2021 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 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, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2021 Ford F-150 problems later.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Ford F-150

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2021 Ford F-150 for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your F-150. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2021 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. 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.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2021 Ford F-150 engine. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 2021 F-150, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2021 Ford F-150? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Ford F-150 suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).
