Ford frequently asked questions
What are the service intervals for Ford?
For Ford vehicles manufactured in 2008 and beyond, service intervals are recommended every 8,000 km. However, for Ford models made in 2007 and earlier, the recommended service interval is every 5,000 km. The owner's manual for your Ford vehicle provides the specific maintenance schedule and details which services should be carried out at each interval.
Does Ford offer free maintenance?
Although free maintenance is not included with new Ford vehicle purchases, Ford offers seven extended service plans for new owners to choose from to further protect their vehicles. These plans differ in coverage, including various high-tech parts, such as cruise control and safety components.
Additionally, Ford provides two customizable maintenance plans for non-battery electric vehicles, allowing owners to select the best plan based on their specific needs regarding time, distance, and service frequency.
At Kentwood Ford, we perform an 83-point inspection with every service appointment, ensuring you are aware of your vehicle's current condition.
How often does Ford recommend oil changes?
The recommended oil change interval for a Ford vehicle ranges from 8,000 to 16,000 km, depending on the model year. However, certain driving conditions and habits, such as frequent towing, short trips, or extreme temperatures, may require more frequent oil changes. To find the specific oil change interval for your vehicle, please refer to the owner’s manual or consult our team at Kentwood Ford. We're always ready to help and provide expert advice.
Is a Ford expensive to maintain?
Your Ford vehicle is designed to be durable and reliable, but it will still need regular maintenance to ensure it stays in good condition and continues to perform well. The cost of maintenance will depend on the specific model of your Ford, as well as any additional service plans you may have purchased. If you have opted for Ford's extended service plans or maintenance plans, you can spread the cost over a period of time, which can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.
What does service engine soon mean on my Ford vehicle cluster?
If you see the service engine soon light illuminated on your Ford, it is an indication that your vehicle requires attention beyond routine maintenance. It is recommended that you schedule an appointment with a Ford-certified service provider, such as the team at Kentwood Ford, as soon as possible.
During the appointment, a factory-trained technician will inspect your vehicle and conduct a diagnostic test to identify the issue causing the light to turn on. Once the problem has been identified, the technician will be able to recommend the necessary repairs to ensure that your vehicle is performing optimally.
Do service plans really save money?
Ford's extended service plans can provide peace of mind, as unexpected maintenance costs can be a burden on anyone's budget. You can finance the plan over a period of time, and be confident that your vehicle is covered and 100% backed by Ford Canada.
In addition to coverage, all extended service plans include Roadside Assistance, meaning you're covered for services such as towing, flat tire changes, or lockout assistance. This additional benefit can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses, providing further security for you and your vehicle.
Does missing a service void my warranty?
Yes, it could. It's essential to follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your owner's manual to keep your Ford's warranty coverage valid. Skipping scheduled maintenance or using non-Ford-approved parts can potentially cause damage to your vehicle, and any resulting repairs may not be covered under your warranty. It's always a good idea to consult with the team at Kentwood Ford to ensure that your vehicle's maintenance is up-to-date and that you are using the right parts.
Which is better, a service or maintenance plan?
Both Ford Service and Ford Maintenance plans provide convenience by allowing you to have your vehicle serviced at any Ford dealership across Canada or the United States. Plus, if you decide to sell your Ford before your service plan expires, you can transfer the remaining coverage to the new owner, which can make your vehicle more appealing to potential buyers. Ultimately, whether you choose a Ford Service or Maintenance plan, you can rest assured knowing that your vehicle is in good hands with Ford's qualified technicians and genuine Ford parts.
