2004 Ford Mustang Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Ford Mustang and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Mustang. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Mustang, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2004 Ford Mustang!

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; 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Mustang's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2004 Ford Mustang problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2004 Ford Mustang and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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 Mustang’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2004 Ford Mustang. 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 Mustang may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford Mustang battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Mustang stranded. Your Ford Mustang won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2004 Ford Mustang's engine run smoother. See Ford's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2004 Mustang in the chart at the top 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. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2004 Ford Mustang.
