2009 Ford Taurus Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Ford Taurus and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Taurus 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. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Taurus, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2009 Ford Taurus!

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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Taurus's life, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2009 Ford Taurus problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2009 Ford Taurus for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. 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 2009 Ford Taurus? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Taurus may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford Taurus battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. 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.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2009 Ford Taurus running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2009 Taurus. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2009 Ford Taurus.

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 Taurus's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Ford Taurus maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally!
