Routine Maintenance
There are some tasks that need to be repeated often—once or twice a year, or around every 10,000 miles. These include changing out your engine oil and replacing its filter, inspecting and rotating your tires, inspecting the cooling system and hoses, and a full multi-point inspection of all your Ford’s systems. The key to keeping your truck running smoothly for its entire life is to keep up with these smaller maintenance tasks.
Of course, as your truck ages its needs change as well. Here’s a breakdown of all the additional services your truck needs at various stages of its life.
