2026 Ford Explorer Maintenance Schedule

Ford Dealer Serving Show Low

The 2026 Ford Explorer is a midsize SUV that blends everyday comfort with strong performance. It’s versatile enough for both family trips and everyday driving. The Explorer features a spacious cabin and robust engines that deliver outstanding performance. Here at Winslow Ford, the Show Low Ford dealer, our customers have made the Explorer one of our most popular vehicles.

Regular maintenance keeps your Explorer running optimally. Fresh fluids and inspections help prevent wear, maintain steady fuel economy, and catch minor problems before they turn into big ones. If you’re not sure when your Explorer is due for its next maintenance visit, check your owner’s manual or contact Winslow Ford, the Show Low Ford dealership.

10,000 Miles

Your first service visit is scheduled for 10,000 miles. Our certified service technicians will drain the old oil and install a new filter, keeping the engine properly lubricated and free of buildup. They’ll also rotate the tires for even wear and examine the brakes, suspension, steering, exhaust, and cooling system to make sure everything’s working properly. These services are repeated at every service interval to ensure your 2026 Ford Explorer runs at its best.

20,000 Miles

At 20,000 miles, our service technicians will repeat the oil change, tire rotation, and multipoint inspection, then replace the cabin air filter. A fresh filter keeps interior air clean and allows the HVAC system to maintain strong airflow. Drivers often notice improved heating and cooling efficiency after this filter is changed.

30,000 Miles

At around 30,000 miles, it will be time to replace the engine air filter. This small but important part keeps dust and debris out of the intake so the engine can breathe properly. When the filter starts to clog, performance and fuel economy can suffer. Replacing it on schedule helps maintain smooth acceleration and efficient operation.

100,000 Miles

At 100,000 miles, our service team will perform a detailed inspection of your Explorer. The spark plugs will be replaced, ensuring the engine fires right and runs smoothly. We’ll drain and replace the coolant to keep the temperature steady and stop corrosion from building up inside the system. We’ll also inspect the accessory drive belt for signs of wear or cracking. This belt powers key systems, such as the alternator, water pump, and power steering unit.

150,000 Miles

When the odometer reaches 150,000 miles, our service technicians will replace the accessory drive belt if necessary and change the automatic transmission fluid to preserve smooth shifting. This helps protect internal parts and prevent expensive repairs down the road.

At Winslow Ford, our service department provides everything your 2026 Ford Explorer needs to run dependably for years to come. We use genuine Ford parts and follow factory-approved procedures. Our certified technicians make sure every job meets Ford’s quality standards.
