1994 Ford Ranger Maintenance

When it comes to your Ford Ranger, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Ranger could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Ranger maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1994 Ford Ranger!

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; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like 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 Ranger's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 1994 Ford Ranger problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1994 Ford Ranger 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Ranger's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1994 Ford Ranger? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Ranger may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Ranger battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Ford Ranger could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1994 Ford Ranger engine. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 1994 Ranger, 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 1994 Ford Ranger.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Ford Ranger can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). 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, perform Ford Ranger suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Ford Ranger's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Ford Ranger maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), 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!). Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Ford Ranger engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Ford Ranger? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 1994 Ford Ranger maintenance.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.
