Ford Service Center Maintenance Intervals

Vehicle maintenance intervals depend on the year, make, and model of your vehicle, as well as driving habits and weather conditions. Typically, vehicles need an oil change every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, which usually occurs every three to five months. If your vehicle runs on synthetic oil, your mileage intervals might be longer. You'll also want to schedule service for spark plugs, braking system, and other vital components at varying intervals.

Most maintenance intervals are listed in your physical or online owner's manual, but you can also stay on top of your model's maintenance by coordinating with our specialists. Our team can even send you personalized service reminders to make sure you have an appointment on the books when necessary.

The system will also alert you when your oil life reaches 5% by displaying "Engine Oil Change Soon" or "Oil Change Required" alerts on your cabin's digital dash. Older Ford models will illuminate an oil change symbol on your vehicle's dashboard instrument display.

How do I know when my Ford vehicle needs servicing?

Signs that your vehicle needs Ford service include strange noises or grinding sounds from beneath the hood and odd odors around or inside your car. These signs may indicate an engine or transmission issue that should be addressed quickly. A less-responsive brake pedal may indicate that you need new brake pads. Trouble starting your vehicle or flickering lights can signify a battery or alternator issue.

What does Ford service consist of?

Ford service includes regular checks, cleanings, or replacements for your vehicle's brakes, oil, fluids, gaskets, belts, wheels, or lights. During a routine Ford service appointment, technicians will thoroughly inspect your vehicle. If you visit our Ford service center for a specific problem, we'll run diagnostics to determine the cause of your issue.

How often should you service your Ford vehicle?

We recommend following your vehicle's owner's manual and paying attention to your model's alert systems to determine your Ford service intervals.
