Did you know that the method you use for filling up your Ford vehicle can help or hurt the overall life expectancy? Surprisingly to some, fuel can make a world of difference with your car, truck, van, or SUV.
The first thing you should always make sure you are doing is to buy fuel at reputable service stations. The fastest way to find out if the location is good or not is to go inside and speak to someone who works there. Ask if the fuel is filtered at the pump. If it is, you should also inquire about how often the filters are changed out. Many places do not even have filters, which can leave you with dirty gasoline that will clog up the mechanisms. Others might not mix the solution properly, or they might add water to it - which is a major no-no.
Another maintenance tip you should follow is to never fill up while the tanker truck is still onsite. As the fuel is being pushed into the underground tanks, the disturbance will stir up sediment. This can cause problems with your vehicle’s filters and fuel injectors and lead to poor performance. Just come back the next day or go to another station.
After you break in a new Ford vehicle, the care should not stop there. Considerate driving will not only prolong the life expectancy of your vehicle, but it will also make you feel better about yourself in the long run.
First, you should never rev your car when you turn on the ignition. This can age your engine prematurely. This is especially true during the winter. Leave the drag racing to the professionals! Also, accelerate slowly when you begin to move. The most wear and tear on a motor happens during the initial 10 to 20 minutes of operation.
Contrary to popular belief, you should not allow your engine to idle to “warm it up†before travel. This can lead to incomplete fuel combustion, oil contamination, soot deposits inside the cylinders, and even damaged elements.
Another great tip is to shift into neutral while you wait at a red light. Avoid driving at high speeds especially in extreme weather, and never hit a pothole or a curb. Finally, consolidate short trips instead of dividing them up throughout the day.
If you have recently purchased a Ford vehicle that has little to no mileage on the odometer, then you may be wondering if there are any tips to breaking the vehicle in. Luckily, there are a few preventative maintenance steps you can take to make the process easy and painless.
First, you must be patient with your model. The goal is to make it last as long as possible after driving off the dealership lot. During the initial 1,600 km (1,000 miles), it is best to keep your top speed under 88 km/h (55 mph). This gives all of the oils and fluid a chance to run through the corresponding systems and lubricate the mechanisms properly.
Next, you should avoid towing trailers or loading up the roof rack. Excess weight can take a toll on the new powertrain. It is better to wait until you break that 1,600 km marker before adding anything extra.
Another tip is not to let the vehicle idle for too long. This prevents oil from getting into every part of the engine, which can be bad. Finally, don’t push the pedal to the metal, Use light to medium acceleration - keeping the RPMs under 3,000.
Over the years, wear and tear can lead to certain elements needing to be replaced. That’s why Ford Parts BC makes it easy for you to find exactly what you’re looking for. You can even get a coil spring for a 2013 to 2018 Ford C-Max.
Installed on front suspension systems, this piece can be positioned in either a left or right location. It is even compatible with all trim levels for this vehicle.
When you need a new part for your vehicles, time is crucial. No one likes being without A/C! Thankfully, ordering replacement components for your Ford is a quick process with Ford Parts BC.
All you have to do is go online and search for the year, make, and model. Then you can select from a wide range of categories to find the precise element you are looking for. It doesn’t work like at an auto body store.
From damage due to road salt to low tire pressure and everything in-between, the winter in BC can be extremely harsh on vehicles. Luckily, there are a few maintenance tips that can keep your Ford running smoothly until springtime.
First, you should switch your all-season tires for a winter set. While the regular tires are pretty good throughout the year, this quick change out could mean the difference between getting home during an ice storm and ending up in the ditch.
Next, you should also check the air pressure for your tires every week. For every 10-degree drop in temperature, you lose an entire pound of pressure. Under-inflated tires can cause premature wear and a loss of traction - which no one wants.
Then, get a new set of windshield wipers, and don’t forget to never turn them on when the glass is covered in ice or snow. To guard against rust caused by salted streets, you can add a protective layer of polymer wax. This creates a barrier and can be removed with a high-pressure washer.
Finally, you should keep your fuel tank half full. This is mainly for an emergency situation.
If your gearbox is in need of some attention, then you are in luck. Ford Parts BC has every type of component for a wide range of models. You can even find an automatic transmission clutch plate for a 2008 Ford F-150.
This plate assembly is crucial if you actually want your truck to drive properly. It is a reverse clutch piece that operates through friction. It is not expensive, and it is compatible with other Ford vehicles from 2002 until 2008 as well. In fact, it fits 59 models such as the Crown Victoria, Expedition, Mustang, and many more.
