1991 Ford Probe Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Ford Probe and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Probe could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Probe maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1991 Ford Probe!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Probe running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1991 Ford Probe problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1991 Ford Probe 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 Probe. 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 1991 Ford Probe 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford Probe 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 Probe stranded. Your Ford Probe won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1991 Ford Probe engine.
