Ford Ranger Maintenance Items
To keep your Ford Ranger running at its best, several routine maintenance tasks need to be performed. Here are some of the key maintenance items included in the Ford Ranger maintenance schedule:
- Oil and Filter Change: Essential for engine health, oil and filter changes should be performed every 10,000 miles.
- Tire Rotation: Rotating the tires every 10,000 miles ensures even tire wear, extends the life of your tires, and maintains optimal traction and handling.
- Brake Inspection: Since effective braking is crucial, have your brakes checked regularly to identify wear and tear early.
- Fluid Checks and Top-Ups: This includes engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid. Regular checks and maintaining proper fluid levels are vital for the smooth operation of all vehicle systems.
- Air Filter Replacement: Replace the engine air filter every 30,000 miles to ensure efficient airflow to the engine, improving performance and fuel efficiency.
- Cabin Filter Replacement: Replacing the cabin air filter every 20,000 miles helps improve HVAC performance and provide you with cleaner air to breathe.
- Spark Plugs: Spark plugs should be checked and replaced every 100,000 miles.
- Battery Service: Regular testing and cleaning of the battery terminals to prevent power loss and ensure reliable starting.
