Here’s Why 2013 Ford Mustang Scheduled Maintenance Matters

Take care of your Ford Mustang and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Mustang has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2013 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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Mustang running for longer, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2013 Ford Mustang problems later.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Ford Mustang Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 2013 Ford Mustang to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Mustang's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2013 Ford Mustang be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Mustang battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2013 Ford Mustang running newer, longer. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 2013 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. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2013 Ford Mustang.

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Ford Mustang's steering and suspension system.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my Ford Mustang? 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 does my Ford Mustang need high mileage oil? Do you have more than 75,000 miles on your Ford Mustang? If so, request to switch to high mileage oil at your next oil change. This type of oil is specially formulated to keep aging engine parts in the best possible condition.
  •  Why are my Ford dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your Ford Mustang in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
