Three Ford Service Tasks to Prepare Your Vehicle for Spring

With springtime almost here, is your vehicle ready? As the snow and ice melt, it’s time to prepare for the warmer weather and longer road trips with some essential Ford service. If you want your vehicle ready for April showers, May flowers, and whatever it is that June’s supposed to bring – hay fever, anyone? — make sure you perform these three service tasks as soon as possible. 

Change Your Oil

During the winter months, the roads are coated with dirt and salt to help you maintain traction with the road. This particulate matter can be kicked up into your engine, which is then picked up by your vehicle’s oil. To ensure your oil can do its job, you should change it out for fresh oil. Doing so will increase your vehicle’s performance capabilities in more ways than we can fit here.

Check Your Tires

This is tire season for three key reasons.

• You’ll want to switch snow tires for all-season tires to ensure peak traction in warmer weather.
• Melting snow and spring rains can lead to hydroplaning; careful driving and good tread depth will help keep you safe.
• Tire pressure fluctuates with temperature changes, so even all-weather tires in good shape could use a checkup and alignment.

Refill Your Fluids

Besides your vehicle’s oil, your car’s brake, transmission, and windshield wiper fluid should get a checkup. If they’re low, they should be topped off; if they’re old, they should be changed. Remember, winter places unique demands on your vehicle, so these checks and top-offs are a great way to ensure your vehicle is prepared for the months ahead.
