2014 Ford Transit Connect Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Ford Transit Connect, 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 Transit Connect 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. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Transit Connect maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2014 Ford Transit Connect!

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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Transit Connect perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2014 Ford Transit Connect problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2014 Ford Transit Connect 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. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Transit Connect. 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.

Could your 2014 Ford Transit Connect be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Transit Connect may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Ford Transit Connect 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 Transit Connect) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford Transit Connect could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2014 Ford Transit Connect's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2014 Transit Connect. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 2014 Ford Transit Connect? We can help with that, too!

Periodic service to the steering system in your Ford Transit Connect can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Ford Transit Connect steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Ford Transit Connect's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Ford Transit Connect maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), 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 Transit Connect cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is your Ford Transit Connect radiator in need of replacement? We’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re on it.
