2021 Ford Mustang Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Ford Mustang, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Mustang. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Mustang, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2021 Ford Mustang maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Mustang perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2021 Ford Mustang problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2021 Ford Mustang for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. 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 2021 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Mustang stranded. Your Ford Mustang won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2021 Ford Mustang engine. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 2021 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. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2021 Ford Mustang.

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. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Ford Mustang suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Ford Mustang's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Ford Mustang maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally! A malfunctioning A/C system or overheating engine can wreak havoc on your car. We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Ford Mustang’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Need a new Ford Mustang radiator? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2021 Ford Mustang maintenance.
