2016 Ford Transit Connect Maintenance Schedule

You want your Ford Transit Connect to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Transit Connect. 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. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2016 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, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Transit Connect perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2016 Ford Transit Connect problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2016 Ford Transit Connect for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2016 Ford Transit Connect. Batteries generally need to be replaced every 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. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Transit Connect battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Transit Connect stranded. 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 support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2016 Ford Transit Connect running newer, longer. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 2016 Transit Connect, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. 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 2016 Ford Transit Connect? We can help with that, too!
