General Ford Scheduled Maintenance Guide

The Ford recommended maintenance schedule can be found in your owner’s manual. Your specific vehicle’s recommended maintenance guide could be different from other Ford vehicles so be sure to double-check your owner’s manual. However, the general rule of thumb is to get an oil change, filters replaced, tires rotated, and other routine maintenance performed three to four times throughout the year or every 7,500 miles to every 10,000 miles. Some more general Ford maintenance schedule intervals include:

Every 7,500 – 10,000 Miles

  • Multi-point inspection
