Stupid maintenance (mainly air filter) questions. Maintenance, Warranty Issues & Troubleshootingįord fiesta ST turbo 1.3 overheating after regular maintenance. Belts and hoses at 75,000 (factory rec is 150,000 for belts, no factory rec for hoses)Ģ015 Fiesta ST 102,000 mile maintenance necessitiesĮxterior Cosmetic & Lighting Modifications Spark plugs every 60,000 (factory rec is 100,000) Trans fluid every 50,000 (factory rec is 150,000 as stated above) Cabin filter- every 20,000 (same as factory rec) All sorts of weird things can start to happen to this car when the battery gets low Battery every 4 years, to be on the safe side. Clutch fluid flush every 4 years (no factory rec, I'm pretty sure this is separate from a brake fluid flush, correct me if I'm wrong) Coolant flush every 3 years (factory rec is 6 yr/100,000 for first flush, then 3yr/ 50,000) Brake fluid flush every 2 years (no factory rec) Air filter every year, since I have the Mountune MP 215 tune but I'm using factory air filters instead of their high flow oiled air filter Oil/filter every year (same as factory recommendation for low mileage car) I don't put that many miles on a car, in 10 years I might only have 40,000 miles on it, so I plan to do most things sooner. The service intervals are quite long, for example 150,000 miles for transmission fluid. Obviously anything that fails inspection at the 10,000 mile intervals is replaced then or greased then if there is a grease fitting (there aren't any grease fittings originally). Why you don't change it the first time at 50,000 miles isn't clear. The cabin air filter is to be changed every 20,000 miles.Įngine Coolant again at 150,000 miles and every 50,000 miles thereafter. There are a bunch of inspections scheduled every 10,000 miles. Tire rotation is also specified at 10,000 miles, but tire manufacturers usually specify 5,000 miles, which is better. It used to be said oil is cheap, but it's not that cheap any more. 5,000 miles lets you coincide with tire rotation but supposedly isn't necessary.

Nowadays 3,000 miles is probably too soon since we are supposed to use synthetic blend oil. The factory specified oil change interval is 10,000 miles, or when the dash indicator says to.

You do realize you don't need a shop manual to look up the maintenance intervals, don't you? It's in the owners manual (in that fancy vinyl folder in your glovebox that you never opened) and also in the Fordpass App you can install on your phone. I was going to type this all out anyway so I figured I might as well put it where others can see it as well. I know that all this stuff can be found in various other places, but for me it's helpful to have it all together.

*****I'm not going to put tires, clutch, or brake pads on here because the way you drive dictates how often you'll need to replace them.

Also feel free to add other things to this list, because I'm sure I missed a bunch of stuff. I'll try to organize them from most frequent (lowest miles between interval) to least frequent. If people want to give a interval other than what Ford recommends, please state why so others can understand the reason for the change and I'll put the suggested interval in with the Ford interval.

I will update this post as I receive new information. The reason I'm making this thread is because it would be helpful to have all the maintenance intervals all in one place, especially for those who don't have access to a shop manual (like me!).
