Ford repair and maintenance
Ford is on TRUE Automotive’s list of makes, including F-Series trucks. Many Fords have an Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor that sets the oil change interval from how the vehicle is driven.
When you book, give the model (for example F-150), the year, the engine and whether you tow.
Common work on Ford
- Hard or late shifts
- Shift complaints on an F-150 or other Ford automatic start with fault codes, a fluid check by Ford’s procedure and a road test. Some are corrected by a software update or an adaptive relearn rather than parts.
- Towing and heavy use
- Trucks that tow or work hard may fall under the special operating conditions schedule in the owner’s manual, with shorter intervals for some fluids.
