Regular Oil Changes Explained
Conducting regular oil changes is crucial for maintaining the engine health of your Ford SUV. As we're part of the Ford family, we understand the significance of every component that keeps our vehicles running smoothly.
Oil viscosity isn't just a term; it's the lifeblood characteristic that ensures your engine's moving parts are protected and functioning optimally. That's why we pay close attention to the manufacturer's recommended viscosity grades, tailoring them to your model's specific needs and the driving conditions you face.
We don't just stop at oil quality; we also map out the ideal change intervals to safeguard your engine's longevity. These intervals are designed to anticipate the demands placed on your SUV, whether it's the daily commute or adventurous off-roading. For most Ford SUVs, the change interval might range between 5,000 and 7,500 miles, but we'll always adjust this recommendation based on your vehicle's unique profile and usage patterns.

Importance of Tire Maintenance
Beyond regular oil changes, we're equally committed to tire maintenance, as it's essential for safety, fuel efficiency, and overall performance of your Ford SUV. At Celebrity Ford of Toms River, we understand that each component of your vehicle plays a crucial role in creating that sense of belonging and trust in your Ford.
Tire rotation is a key element in extending the life of your tires and ensuring even wear. We recommend following Ford's specific maintenance schedule, which typically suggests tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. This process involves repositioning your tires in a specific pattern, promoting uniform tire wear and maintaining optimal handling and traction.
Moreover, pressure monitoring isn't just about avoiding flat tires. It's about preserving the integrity of your SUV's performance. Properly inflated tires reduce rolling resistance, which can significantly improve your fuel economy. With the latest tools and technology, we ensure your tires are inflated to Ford's precise specifications for your specific model.
We're here to keep you, your family, and your Ford SUV safe on the road. Trust us to handle your tire maintenance with the expertise and attention to detail your vehicle deserves.
Brake System Care Essentials
Just as we prioritize tire maintenance, we're equally vigilant when it comes to your brake system, ensuring every stop is as safe and reliable as the last.
At Celebrity Ford of Toms River, we understand that your Ford SUV is more than just a vehicle; it's a trusted member of your family. That's why we're committed to providing meticulous brake system care that includes regular brake pad replacement and brake fluid testing.
Our expert technicians are trained to spot the subtle signs of wear that might escape others' notice. When it comes to brake pad replacement, we don't just swap out parts; we carefully assess the entire brake system to ensure every component is functioning in harmony—a hallmark of Ford's engineering excellence.
Brake fluid testing is another critical aspect of our comprehensive maintenance approach. We're fastidious about checking for contamination and moisture levels because we know that the integrity of your brake fluid is paramount for responsive braking performance.
We're here to ensure that your Ford SUV remains the reliable, safe, and high-performing vehicle you expect it to be. Trust us to be the guardians of your brakes, and you'll be part of a community that values safety and quality above all.
