How do I maintain the engine of my Ford Ranger?

I just bought a Ford Ranger and I want to make sure the engine is well-maintained. What steps should I take and how often should I do them? Thank you in advance!

Hi Samantha, congratulations on your new Ford Ranger! As for maintaining the engine, regular oil changes and replacing the air filter at least every 12,000 miles is crucial. It's also important to check your engine's coolant and power steering fluid levels every few months. And don't forget about regular inspections and tune-ups by a certified mechanic.

Hey Samantha, proper maintenance of the engine includes checking the belts, hoses, and spark plugs. You should also periodically clean the engine and make sure there are no leaks. It's also a good idea to use high-quality fuel and keep the fuel tank at least a quarter full to prevent sediment from clogging the fuel pump.

Hey there Samantha, I've been driving a Ford Ranger for years now and I've found that the key to keeping the engine in top shape is regular maintenance and using quality parts. Don't skimp on the upkeep and make sure to use genuine Ford parts when replacements are needed.
