Ford F-150 Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My Ford F-150?

When it comes to the performance of your F-150 over time, nothing is more important than regular maintenance. This is how minor problems are stopped before they can become big problems. There is a precise Ford F-150 maintenance schedule to be followed. That said, there are variations based on the particular model you own. You can whip out your handy owner's manual to get the most precise information on your F-150.

20,000-Mile Service

The first of the Ford F-150 service intervals falls at 20,000 miles. At this point, your truck is still relatively young and is unlikely to need much work done. You can get your oil changed if required, and your tires rotated. The main thing done at this initial service appointment is an inspection for potential problems.

Every aspect of your brakes, from the linings to the parking brake, will be tested. The exhaust and engine cooling systems will be examined for wear or damage. The F-150 will also have its wheels, tires, and half-shaft boots examined. To ensure that your truck is good to go for the foreseeable future, the steering linkage, ball joints, suspension, and U-joints are included in the inspection.

30,000-Mile Service

It is common for the F-150 to need new engine air filters at this time. Otherwise, this appointment is primarily just another opportunity for the truck to be inspected and problems caught early on. Need an oil change or tire rotation? You can get that taken care of at the same time.

60,000-Mile Service

Many Ford F-150 models have a cabin air filter. It may be due for replacement when you hit 60,000 miles. Does your F-150 have a power outlet located in its bed? Then you will need your accessory drive belts examined at this point as well.

100,000-Mile Service

After serving you well for 100,000 miles, your spark plugs will be ready to be replaced. Naturally, all key vehicle components will need to be examined to ensure they are still operating as they should. Consider having your oil and oil filter changed at this time as well.
