Ford Service and Maintenance in Manteca, CA
Getting regular maintenance for your vehicle is the best protection to ensure your vehicle's durability and longevity. Some maintenance servicing items may not be critical for durability, but several are well-known to be vital for engine care and safety. This includes oil changes, brake servicing, battery, and tire replacements.
Oil Changes: Regularly changing your Ford vehicle's oil can substantially increase your vehicle's life. Engine oil is vital in keeping engine parts functioning at their best and reducing friction and excessive heat. When oil is left in the engine too long, the natural amber color changes to a dark brown, and the consistency becomes thick, making it less effective.
Because dirt, debris, and tiny metal particles infiltrate the oil as it continuously cycles through the engine. If left unattended, this can lead to engine repairs and engine failure. You should get an oil change about every 6,000 - 8,000 miles for vehicles with less than 100,000 miles and those less than ten years old. Older vehicles and those with over 100,000 miles should get their oil changed every 4,500 - 6,000 miles.
Brake Servicing: Replacing brake pads every 25,000-40,000 miles is essential for passengers and vehicle safety. People near Manteca, CA, with extensive stop-and-go driving habits, should get their brake pads replaced at 25,000-mile intervals. Meanwhile, drivers who drive more on highways should replace brake pads every 35,000 - 40,000 miles.
Battery Inspection: Maintaining and replacing the battery every 3-4 years and tire replacements every 30,000 - 45,000 miles is essential for vehicle and passenger safety.
