Ideal Ford Explorer Maintenance Schedule

Scheduled maintenance for Ford Explorer is crucial to keep your SUV running at its best. Every 10,000 miles, you can visit Integrity 1st Automotive for an oil change, tire rotation & wheel alignment, and multi-point inspection. This routine is repeated at 20,000 miles with the addition of a cabin air filter replacement and potential brake fluid flush. At 30,000 miles, the engine air filter is replaced alongside the usual service. 

Hitting 100,000 miles means spark plugs, fuel injector cleaning and an accessory drive belt inspection, while 150,000 miles requires a new drive belt and fresh automatic transmission fluid. Our experienced technicians will ensure your Explorer receives the care it needs for optimal performance and longevity.
