2012 Ford Mustang Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Ford Mustang and it'll take care of you. With proactive 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. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Mustang maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2012 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. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Mustang's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2012 Ford Mustang problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2012 Ford Mustang and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. 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 2012 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. 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Mustang) stuck in the middle of nowhere. 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 2012 Ford Mustang running newer, longer. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 2012 Mustang, 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2012 Ford Mustang? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Ford Mustang can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. 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 could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car.
