2017 Ford Taurus Maintenance Schedule

You want your Ford Taurus to last as long as possible. With proactive maintenance, your Taurus could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? 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 2017 Ford Taurus!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves. 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. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Taurus perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2017 Ford Taurus problems in the future.

Bring your 2017 Ford Taurus to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in 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 Taurus. 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2017 Ford Taurus. Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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. 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. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Taurus) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford Taurus 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2017 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 2017 Taurus. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2017 Ford Taurus? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Ford Taurus steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Ford Taurus 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 Taurus's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Ford Taurus services, 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 Taurus’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Ford Taurus? We’ve got your back. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2017 Ford Taurus 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.
