Keeping Your Vehicle Maintained in Princeton, WV
Oil Change Princeton WV
Oil changes are among the most common maintenance tasks your Ford vehicle will likely need over its lifetime. Most Ford vehicles have a recommended oil change interval of every 7,500 miles or once every six months, whichever comes first. This can vary based on driving conditions, the model of the Ford vehicle you own, and the type of oil it uses. Check the owner's manual for your vehicle to determine exactly how often it should be changed.
Many newer Ford vehicles now have an Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM). This monitor tracks your mileage and driving conditions to calculate when you should bring your Ford car, truck, or SUV in for an oil change. The IOLM appears on the driver's digital instrument gauge cluster.
It starts at 100 percent when you get a new oil change and then counts down. The vehicle alerts you when it reaches 5 percent, which means it is time for that oil change. You can also receive updates and notifications on the FordPass app for mobile phones.
Fluids, Filters, Plugs, and More
Do you need your fluid levels topped off? The Ramey Ford Service Center can do it in just minutes with a scheduled appointment. This includes topping off your vehicle's oil, radiator, transmission, windshield washer, and brake fluid. If these fluids become low, old, or corroded, it can cause serious damage to your Ford.
Most filters should be changed every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. These include engine and cabin air filters, oil filters, and fuel filters. Filters can be inspected and changed during a routine oil change. Spark plugs should be changed every 100,000 miles and this is a more complicated job that will require more time.
The belts and hoses in your engine play a key role in the vehicle's performance. Belts can start to show wear and tear as they age. Replacing them before they break is always cheaper! Our service technicians will also check the integrity of your vehicle's hoses. These wear out over time because they're subjected to intense heat. A hose failure can cause the vehicle to overheat, which can cause serious damage and lead to expensive repairs.
Brake Service
Our service techs will inspect your brakes when you bring your Ford vehicle in for routine maintenance. Warped or damaged brake discs should be replaced before they lead to a full failure. The brake system has both rubber and metal hoses which are checked for leaks and repaired or replaced if needed. The sooner that you have brake problems resolved, the less likely they are to cause serious problems and a spendy replacement job.
