1991 Ford Mustang Maintenance Schedule

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the 1991 Ford Mustang?

Here’s Why 1991 Ford Mustang Scheduled Maintenance Matters

Take care of your Ford Mustang and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Mustang 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. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Mustang, 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 1991 Ford Mustang!

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; 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Mustang running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1991 Ford Mustang problems later.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your Ford Mustang

Bring your 1991 Ford Mustang 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 Mustang. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1991 Ford Mustang? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Mustang 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 Mustang 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 Mustang) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford Mustang won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 1991 Ford Mustang's engine run smoother. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 1991 Mustang, 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. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1991 Ford Mustang.

Maintaining your Ford Mustang steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Ford Mustang steering and suspension services. 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 Mustang's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Ford Mustang services, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Ford Mustang cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Ford Mustang radiator in need of replacement? We’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 1991 Ford Mustang maintenance.

1991 Ford Mustang Maintenance Q&A

Take an active role in maintaining your 1991 Ford Mustang. Get answers to common Ford Mustang maintenance questions and learn more about caring for your vehicle.

  • When should I have Ford Mustang alignment checked? Check your car for pothole damage! If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Ford Mustang? If your Ford Mustang has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  • Can I ignore dashboard lights on my Ford? Because there might be a problem under the hood. Those warning lights are there for a reason! As soon as you notice that one’s illuminated, take your Ford Mustang to Firestone Complete Auto Care so you can address any small problems long before they worsen.
