Ford Explorer Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Ford Explorer?

If you've invested in a new vehicle, you must spend a little bit of time on routine maintenance and service. Without it, your vehicle could end up experiencing some pretty expensive repairs that could leave you temporarily stranded on the side of the road. Your owner's manual will outline the recommended Ford Explorer maintenance schedule that the manufacturer recommends. Our dealership's service department can also work with you to figure out the best Ford Explorer service intervals based on your driving.

15,000-Miles

Likely, your Explorer hasn't needed much attention before your 15,000-mile appointment. That means it's time for an oil change (with filter), a tire rotation (with inspection), and a quick look at your cooling system, brake system, and steering system.

30,000-Mile Service

In addition to another oil change and tire rotation, your 30,000-mile appointment will include an inspection of your exhaust system, brake system, and an assessment of your fluid levels.

60,000-Mile Service

A vehicle with approximately 60,000 miles on it may start to show signs of issues with your suspension joints, heat shields, and ball joints. Your exhaust system may need service if it is beginning to show signs of corrosion or damage.

90,000-Mile Service

Your timing belt synchronizes the rotation of your camshaft along with the camshaft. At the 90,000 mile point, service may be necessary as belts can become damaged or worn out with repeated use. Your spark plugs should have lasted you up to this point, but they will need to be replaced at 90,000 miles.
