1998 Ford F-250 Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Ford F-250, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your F-250 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get F-250 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1998 Ford F-250!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your F-250 perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1998 Ford F-250 problems in the future.

Bring your 1998 Ford F-250 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your F-250’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1998 Ford F-250? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your F-250 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford F-250 battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your F-250 stranded. Your Ford F-250 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

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 1998 Ford F-250 engine. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 1998 F-250, 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. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1998 Ford F-250.

Routine upkeep for your Ford F-250 suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle.

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Ford F-250's steering system require regular maintenance.
