If you drive a Ford Escape around the Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Chesapeake, Virginia, areas, you know how important routine service is. By following the Ford Escape maintenance schedule, you can stay on top of your Ford’s essential services and keep it running smoothly for many miles to come.

Below, Cavalier Ford Chesapeake Square breaks down the maintenance milestones of your Ford Escape, so you can schedule service with our experts at the right time.

What is a Ford Escape Maintenance Schedule?

Your Ford Escape is designed to provide a smooth, seamless ride each time you get behind the wheel. A maintenance schedule helps you keep track of your Escape’s service needs, so you can address and fix any issues as soon as possible.

By following a regular maintenance schedule, you can help your vehicle stay on the road. While your specific Ford Escape maintenance schedule will depend on your model and driving habits, you can follow this schedule to have a general idea of when each service is needed.

10,000 Miles

The 10,000-mile service interval marks a series of routine maintenances that your Ford Escape needs. At this mileage, it will need a tire rotation as well as multiple inspections of the engine, exhaust system, tires, fluids, brakes, and performance. This will happen at every 10,000-mile service interval.

Your Escape will also need an oil change at this time. Oil changes, along with tire rotations, will occur around every six months. You can also reference the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ to determine if your vehicle needs an oil change sooner.

30,000 Miles

The 30,000-mile interval marks the need for engine air filter replacements, along with the 10,000-mile interval services. Your brake pads may also need to be replaced at this time.

100,000 Miles

Hitting 100,000 miles on your Ford is a big achievement! Your Escape will need routine maintenance between the 30,000 and 100,000 miles; however, it will likely only include the services listed above. The 100,000 interval is when the next major service will occur. Once you hit this milestone, your Escape will need to have the spark plus replaced.

150,000 Miles

Once you hit 150,000 miles on your Escape, it’s safe to say you know its maintenance schedule pretty well. At this interval, along with the routine services, you will need to have the engine air filters and the brake belts replaced. The automatic transmission fluid will also need to be replaced.
