2006 Ford Taurus Maintenance

You want your Ford Taurus to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Taurus has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Taurus maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2006 Ford Taurus maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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 Taurus running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2006 Ford Taurus problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2006 Ford Taurus for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Taurus’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2006 Ford Taurus? 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 Taurus 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, you may find yourself (and your trusty Taurus) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford Taurus won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
