2026 Ford F-150 Maintenance Schedule at Auffenberg Ford North

For many years, the beloved Ford F-150 pickup truck, and indeed the entire F-series line, has been the bestselling line of heavy-duty pickup trucks in the entire world. From their class-leading towing and payload capacity, their go-anywhere, do-anything attitude that works as hard as it plays, and even the capability to power a house with their onboard generators! It is absolutely essential, if you want to keep your Ford performing like new for years, to stick to your routine schedule of preventative maintenance. At Auffenberg Ford North, we offer this overview of your Ford F-150 pickup truck's service schedule. Let's explore what happens at each maintenance interval.

2026 Ford F-150 Service Schedule: The Basics

The core of preventative service for your truck is, not surprisingly, a regular oil change. These should, in general, happen twice a year or every 6,000 miles, but the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor system in your truck will light up a dashboard indicator when it's time. At this appointment your Ford technician will also perform other important routine services and inspections, including:

• Rotate and inspect your tires for even wear and tread depth.
• Change the engine oil and filter, and reset the monitoring system.
• Perform a multi-point inspection, which can include:
• Wheels
• Axles, steering linkage, CV boots, ball joints, driveshaft, suspension, and other steering components
• Brakes including shoes, rotors, pads, and lines
• Engine coolant and hoses
• Exhaust system including heat shields
• Transmission fluid
• Cabin and engine air filters
