Alpine Ford – Recommended service and maintenance schedule for Ford F-150
Your Ford® F-150® is built to work hard, and a smart maintenance plan keeps it ready for every mile. Our factory-trained team supports daily drivers, weekend towers, and fleet owners alike, serving in Pueblo, CO, Colorado Springs, and Canon City. Because intervals vary by model year, engine, and usage, always refer to your Owner’s Manual and Ford maintenance schedule, then lean on our advisors to tailor the plan to how and where you drive. Use this general guide as a quick reference, and remember that severe use like frequent towing, dusty roads, or extended idling often calls for shorter intervals. When you visit us, we check for open recalls, apply service bulletins as applicable, and document everything so your F-150’s history stays clear and organized. Below is a streamlined maintenance roadmap most owners can use to stay ahead of wear, protect resale value, and keep vital systems performing as designed.
- Monthly quick check: Inspect tire pressure and tread, lights, wipers, and all fluids; listen for new noises and address warning lights promptly.
- Every 5,000-7,500 miles or 6 months: Change engine oil and filter, rotate tires, inspect brakes and suspension, top off fluids, and complete a Multi-Point Inspection.
- Every 15,000 miles or 12 months: Replace cabin air filter, inspect pads and rotors, check steering and hoses, balance tires, and test the battery and charging system.
- Every 30,000 miles or 24 months: Replace engine air filter, test coolant condition, evaluate brake fluid, inspect spark plugs on select engines, and clean throttle body as needed.
- Every 60,000 miles or 72 months: Inspect and service 4×4 transfer case and differentials per manual, evaluate transmission fluid service needs, replace coolant as specified, and assess shocks/struts and alignment.
- 100,000-120,000 miles: Replace spark plugs if not done earlier, exchange coolant as required, inspect drive belts and hoses, and service transmission and axle fluids as your manual indicates.
- Severe duty adjustments: Shorten oil changes to about 5,000 miles, rotate tires at every oil service, and increase inspection frequency for brakes, transmission, and driveline fluids.
