2006 Ford Five Hundred Maintenance

You want your Ford Five Hundred to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Five Hundred 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 Five Hundred maintenance. Just follow your 2006 Ford Five Hundred maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Five Hundred's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2006 Ford Five Hundred problems later.

Bring your 2006 Ford Five Hundred to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in 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 Five Hundred. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2006 Ford Five Hundred. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Five Hundred 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 Five Hundred 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 Five Hundred) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford Five Hundred could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2006 Ford Five Hundred running newer, longer. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 2006 Five Hundred, 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. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2006 Ford Five Hundred? We can help with that, too!

Components within your Ford Five Hundred's steering system require regular maintenance.
