1994 Ford Tempo Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Ford Tempo, 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 Tempo has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. 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 Tempo maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1994 Ford Tempo!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Tempo running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1994 Ford Tempo problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1994 Ford Tempo 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 Tempo’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1994 Ford Tempo? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Tempo battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Tempo stranded. Your Ford Tempo won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1994 Ford Tempo's engine run smoother. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 1994 Tempo, 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. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 1994 Ford Tempo.
