Ford Explorer Maintenance Schedule
The Ford Explorer is a tough, family friendly SUV. While it's built to be dependable and carry everything you need for the long haul, you'll still need to stay on top of its recommended maintenance schedule. So, how often should you schedule maintenance?
To help drivers in Marion, Herrin, and Carbondale, Illinois, keep their SUVs in good condition, Watermark Ford of Marion has put together a detailed rundown of the Ford Explorer maintenance schedule.
Every 10,000 Miles
You should bring your Ford Explorer in for maintenance at least every 10,000 miles. During these regular appointments, service technicians will perform basic maintenance, including giving your SUV an oil change, rotating the tires, and performing a multi-point inspection.
Additionally, they'll examine the tire tread and look closely at the exhaust system, engine cooling system, suspension, and brake system. To make sure that every part is in good condition, they'll be sure to inspect individual areas, such as the brake pads, the rotors, and individual hoses and belts.

Every 20,000 Miles
After you've put another 20,000 miles on your Ford Explorer, you'll bring it back for all the same maintenance and inspections as last time. Once again, our experienced team will give it a multi-point inspection, change the oil, and check the tires to see if they should be rotated or replaced.
This time around, though, technicians will also replace the cabin air filter. Plus, if it's been a couple of years, they'll also flush and refill the brake system with new brake fluid too.
Every 30,000 Miles
By now, your Explorer should be settled into a nice routine. To keep up with that routine, your SUV's 30,000-mile maintenance appointment will look at lot like the last one. The Explorer will get yet another oil change, tire rotation, and a thorough inspection that covers the most important parts and systems. Just one more thing though. During this appointment, technicians will replace the engine air filter.
Every 100,000 Miles
Congratulations on hitting 100,000 miles in your Ford Explorer! Seeing six digits on the odometer is a big deal-and routine maintenance definitely played a part in getting you here. To keep it on the road for another 100,000 miles, your SUV will receive its regular maintenance as well as a couple of other services. For example, during this appointment, technicians will inspect the accessory drive belt and replace the spark plugs.
Every 150,000 Miles
After another few maintenance appointments, your Ford Explorer should have no problem hitting 150,000 miles. That's something to be proud of. To keep everything running smoothly, it'll receive its regular maintenance as well as a new accessory drive belt and new automatic transmission fluid.
