Scheduled Maintenance for Your 1991 Ford Thunderbird

What is the maintenance schedule for the 1991 Ford Thunderbird?

Here’s Why 1991 Ford Thunderbird Scheduled Maintenance Matters

When it comes to your Ford Thunderbird, 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 Thunderbird 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 Thunderbird maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1991 Ford Thunderbird!

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; 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 Thunderbird's life, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1991 Ford Thunderbird problems.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your Ford Thunderbird Running Newer, Longer

Bring your 1991 Ford Thunderbird to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Thunderbird. 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.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1991 Ford Thunderbird? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Ford Thunderbird 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 Thunderbird) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford Thunderbird won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1991 Ford Thunderbird engine. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 1991 Thunderbird, 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. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1991 Ford Thunderbird? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your Ford Thunderbird steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Ford Thunderbird steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Ford Thunderbird's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Ford Thunderbird services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Ford Thunderbird cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Ford Thunderbird? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 1991 Ford Thunderbird maintenance.
