How often should I service my 2002 Ford Windstar?
You want your Ford Windstar to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Windstar. 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 Windstar maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2002 Ford Windstar!
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; 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Windstar running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2002 Ford Windstar problems in the future.
Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2002 Ford Windstar and an expert technician will begin by performing 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Windstar's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.
Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2002 Ford Windstar? 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. 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 Windstar battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Windstar) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford Windstar won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2002 Ford Windstar'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 2002 Windstar. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 2002 Ford Windstar.
