2018 Ford Mustang Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Ford Mustang and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, 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. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2018 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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. 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 2018 Ford Mustang problems later.

Bring your 2018 Ford Mustang to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. 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.

Could your 2018 Ford Mustang be ready for a new battery? 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). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. 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. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. 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.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2018 Ford Mustang's engine run smoother. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 2018 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. 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 2018 Ford Mustang.

Routine upkeep for your Ford Mustang suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Ford Mustang steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. 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.

Without routine Ford Mustang maintenance, 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 got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 2018 Ford Mustang maintenance.

So visit us regularly, or visit us urgently. Many locations are open on weekends and in the evening.
