You want your Ford Mustang 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 Mustang.

There's no need to guess when it's time to get Mustang maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 1999 Ford Mustang maintenance schedule!

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. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges.

We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1999 Ford Mustang 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 Mustang may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Mustang stranded. Your Ford Mustang won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1999 Ford Mustang running newer, longer. See Ford's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1999 Mustang in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 1999 Ford Mustang.

  • When should I have Ford Mustang alignment checked? You know your Ford Mustang better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • 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!
  •  Why are my Ford dashboard lights on? It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Ford Mustang, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light
