1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Ford LTD Crown Victoria and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your LTD Crown Victoria could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine LTD Crown Victoria maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria!

Ford knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your LTD Crown Victoria running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria problems.

Bring your 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your LTD Crown Victoria’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Ford LTD Crown Victoria battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty LTD Crown Victoria) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford LTD Crown Victoria won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria running newer, longer. To learn how often Ford recommends you have the oil changed in your 1988 LTD Crown Victoria, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Ford LTD Crown Victoria suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Ford LTD Crown Victoria steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Components within your Ford LTD Crown Victoria's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Ford LTD Crown Victoria maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Ford LTD Crown Victoria cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Ford LTD Crown Victoria? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your spot for 1988 Ford LTD Crown Victoria maintenance.

So visit us regularly, or visit us urgently. Many locations are open on weekends and in the evening.
