2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Ford F-250 Super Duty, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your F-250 Super Duty has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your F-250 Super Duty, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty!

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. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your F-250 Super Duty running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty problems in the future.

Bring your 2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check.

Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your F-250 Super Duty's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty. 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). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your F-250 Super Duty may need a replacement battery sooner. 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-250 Super Duty battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty F-250 Super Duty) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford F-250 Super Duty won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
