Ford Maverick Recommended Maintenance Schedule

All Models

• Oil and Filter Change: Ford manufacturer recommended weight for EcoBoost or Hybrid engines
• Tire Rotation: Rotating all tires to ensure even tread wear across front and rear axles
• Brake Inspection: Detailed check of pads, rotors, and brake lines
• Multi-Point Inspection: A comprehensive health check of all fluid levels and safety systems

Hybrid Models

• High Voltage Battery Cooling System: Inspection of the cooling system air filter for dirt or debris
• Cooling Vents: Clear any buildup that could restrict airflow to the electrified battery system
• 12V Battery: Test battery health and confirm terminal connections are secure

20,000 Miles or 24 Months

• Cabin Air Filter Replacement: Replacing the filter to keep the HVAC system efficient and interior air free of dust
• Suspension Inspection: Ford technicians inspect steering linkage, ball joints, and suspension components for signs of wear

30,000 Miles or 36 Months

• Engine Air Filter Replacement: Maintains fuel economy for both Gas EcoBoost and Hybrid powertrains
• Brake Fluid Service: Ford recommends a flush every 3 years regardless of mileage to prevent moisture contamination
• AWD Models: Inspection of rear drive unit and transfer case for fluid leaks

60,000 Miles or 72 Months

• Accessory Drive Belt Inspection: Checking for cracks or fraying on belts that power the alternator and water pump
• Transmission Fluid Service: For severe duty or towing, Ford dealerships recommend replacing fluid at this stage
• Cooling System Check: Inspection of all radiator hoses and engine cooling system for leaks or degradation

100,000 to 150,000 Miles

• Spark Plug Replacement: Required at 100,000 miles for both Gas and Hybrid to ensure proper ignition and fuel efficiency
• Engine Coolant Flush: Initial replacement occurs at 100,000 miles to prevent internal engine corrosion
• Hybrid Powertrain Coolant: Specific flush of the secondary cooling system for the inverter and electrical components
• Transmission Fluid Replacement: Full fluid change recommended at 150,000 miles under normal driving conditions

Off-Road & Multi-Terrain Care

• Filter Checks and Replacements: Dust clogs filters faster than normal — Ford dealerships inspect and replace engine and cabin air filters
• Undercarriage Cleaning and Inspection: Mud and road salt hold moisture and can cause corrosion; Ford technicians clean the underside and check skid plates and heat shields
• Deep Water Inspection: Ford service teams check rear drive unit and transmission fluids and replace them if needed to protect internal gears

Engine Oil Requirements

• Gas 2.0L EcoBoost: SAE 5W-30 synthetic blend or full synthetic
• 2.5L Hybrid: SAE 0W-20 for optimal fuel economy and cold start protection
• Oil Standard: Must meet Ford spec WSS-M2C961-A1 (2.0L) or WSS-M2C962-A1 (2.5L)
• Oil Filter: Use genuine Motorcraft or Ford-approved equivalent

Transmission & Driveline Service

• Heavy Use: Replace transmission fluid every 60,000 miles if frequently towing or driving in hilly terrain
• Hybrid eCVT: Requires specialized fluid; check for leaks during routine multi-point inspections
• AWD Models: Inspect transfer case and rear drive unit seals and fluid condition periodically

Cooling & Ignition System Care

• Coolant Service: Ford Orange or Yellow Prediluted Antifreeze initially replaced at 100,000 miles, then every 50,000 miles
• Hybrid Cooling: Separate cooling system for high voltage electronics should be inspected at every service interval
• Spark Plugs: Replacement required at 100,000 miles to maintain combustion efficiency

Suspension & Brake System Care

• Brake Fluid Service: Full flush every 3 years to remove moisture and maintain a firm pedal feel
• Hybrid Braking: Regenerative system may reduce pad wear, but annual caliper inspections are required
• Steering and Suspension: Ford technicians inspect ball joints, steering linkage, and CV boots every 15,000 miles
• Wheel Alignment: Check when installing new tires or after significant impacts

Heavy Use & Seasonal Maintenance

• Engine Air Filters: Replace every 30,000 miles or sooner in dusty or gravel conditions
• Battery Health: Test the 12V battery annually; hybrid battery is under the rear seat and requires Ford-specific testing
• Ford Co‑Pilot360 Sensors: Keep windshield and front bumper areas clean for proper camera and radar function
• Floor Mats: Ensure driver-side mat is secured to factory retention posts to prevent pedal interference

High Voltage Battery Cooling System

• Keep it clean: Ensure mud, dirt, or debris does not build up under the vehicle near the battery area — buildup can trap heat and reduce battery life
• Correct coolant matters: Hybrid systems use a special type of coolant safe for electrical parts, different from regular engine coolant
• Battery health checks: During routine service, a dealer can run a battery health check to confirm cells are working evenly and efficiently

Hybrid Powertrain Cooling System

• Separate coolant tank: Under the hood, look for an extra coolant reservoir — the fluid level should stay between minimum and maximum marks
• Long service interval: This coolant usually needs to be replaced around 150,000 miles, following Ford Motor Company service guidelines
• Why it is important: This system cools high voltage parts — keeping it sealed and full helps prevent expensive electrical problems

Regenerative Braking System Care

• Brake pads last longer: Many owners notice fewer brake replacements compared to non-hybrid trucks
• Watch for rust: Because brakes are used less often, rotors can develop surface rust — periodic inspections help catch this early
• Brake fluid quality: The system uses DOT 4 low viscosity brake fluid so electronic brake parts work correctly in hot and cold weather

12-Volt Battery Maintenance

• Avoid battery drain: If the truck sits for long periods, the 12V battery can lose charge — driving regularly or using a battery maintainer helps prevent this
• Check battery terminals: Make sure connections are tight and clean — loose or corroded terminals can cause warning messages or starting problems
