2009 Ford Flex Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Ford Flex to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Flex. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Flex, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2009 Ford Flex maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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 Flex perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2009 Ford Flex problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2009 Ford Flex for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Flex's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2009 Ford Flex? 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 Flex may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Flex battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Flex stranded. Your Ford Flex won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2009 Ford Flex's engine run smoother. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 2009 Flex, 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 can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2009 Ford Flex.
