2008 Ford Fusion Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Ford Fusion to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Fusion has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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 Fusion maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2008 Ford Fusion!

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. 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 Fusion perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2008 Ford Fusion problems later.

Bring your 2008 Ford Fusion 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 Fusion’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2008 Ford Fusion be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Fusion may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford Fusion battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Fusion) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford Fusion 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 2008 Ford Fusion's engine run smoother. See Ford's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2008 Fusion in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. 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 2008 Ford Fusion? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Ford Fusion suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Ford Fusion suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Ford Fusion's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Ford Fusion maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Ford Fusion cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Ford Fusion radiator in need of replacement? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2008 Ford Fusion maintenance.
