Routine Maintenance for Miles to Come

Before we jump into the specific milestones your Ford Escape will meet over the next few years, we wanted to go over some routine services that should be performed more frequently. These include:

• Tire inspections & rotations
• Oil changes & filter replacements
• General multi-point inspections

These are important services that will keep your car running smoothly, so it’s a good idea to schedule these every 5,000 to 10,000 miles.

60,000 Miles of Adventure

When your car’s been on the road for a long time, it might need to have some parts replaced. At this service appointment, your Ford Escape’s engine air filters and cabin air filter (if equipped) will be replaced to ensure they’re working as well as possible.

In addition, a technician will inspect the automatic transmission fluid level if your Ford Escape is equipped with a dipstick. If the fluid looks dirty or smells burnt, it will be drained and replaced. This ensures that your transmission stays lubricated, which helps it remain in solid condition for years to come.

Behind the Wheel for 80,000 Miles

After 80,000 miles, your SUV will need to be taken to the service center for another routine appointment. At this checkup, a technician will inspect the following:

• Half-shaft boots
• Rear axle
• Ball joints
• U-joints

These are just a few of the systems and parts the technician will look at to ensure your vehicle is safe and healthy. If there are any issues, the service center team will repair or replace the part and get you back on the road in no time.

With all those miles behind you, it’s important that you stay on top of your Ford Escape’s maintenance schedule. After 100,000 miles, you’ll want to have the accessory drive belts inspected, the spark plugs replaced, and the engine coolant changed.
