Your car's differentials ensure smooth and safe cornering by allowing the wheels to rotate at differing speeds. It's quite common for drivers to overlook the differentials when thinking of maintenance. But this negligence can lead to costly and even hazardous problems. The following Ford differential maintenance guidelines will make sure your vehicle continues to handle corners with precision, balance, and optimal control. Change the Differential Fluid As with most vital car parts, the fluid is key to differential health. The gears inside each differential need this fluid to stay fully lubricated. Differential fluid also minimizes wear and helps to control the temperature. You'll need to change this fluid every 30,000 to 50,000 miles, a straightforward service you can schedule with us. Inspect the Seals and Gears At least once a year, it's advisable to have the gaskets and seals of your differentials professionally examined. If any seals are found to be wearing out, we can repair or replace them before the fluid starts to leak. Our technicians can also open up the differentials to inspect the gears and ensure they're not chipped, rounded out, or otherwise damaged. Identify Differential Problems All drivers should keep an eye out for mysterious pools of fluid under their cars. If you notice dripping fluid beneath the wheel axles, it's likely to be a differential fluid leak, which will need to be repaired at once. Other signs of a malfunctioning differential include whining or whirring noises, difficulty cornering smoothly, excess vibrations, and a burning smell. Keep Your Tires in Great Shape The wheels and tires of a car are directly connected to the differentials via the axles. If your tires are uneven, unbalanced, or misaligned, excess pressure will be put on the axles, suspension, and differentials. This is why it's so important to keep your tires in excellent form. Firstly, have your tires rotated at least twice a year. This keeps them uniform in size and helps them last longer. You'll also need to balance each tire. And continuous bumps against potholes and curbs can move wheels slightly out of alignment, which strains the differentials; so, every time you have your tires rotated, ask for an alignment check as well. Book Routine Ford Differential Maintenance Most drivers will struggle to inspect and maintain their car's differentials properly, so it's best to book differential service with a trusted technician. With our yearly checks, we can ensure your differentials are in great condition and let you know how soon you're likely to need new fluid. Visit Coughlin Ford of Circleville in Circleville, OH, today to keep your car well-maintained. We're a local, community-focused dealership dedicated to keeping our customers' cars performing at their best.

When you're ready to get your next car, you might want to consider leasing instead of an outright purchase. Leasing offers many benefits, with packages that can be customized to meet your needs. To discover the many Ford leasing options available and to find out if it's right for you, visit your local Ford dealership. Pros of Leasing Cheaper Costs When you lease a car, you're only paying for the proportion of time that you'll be using it for, which means that the monthly cost is typically lower. The upfront costs are often less, too, making it a budget-friendly way to get behind the wheel of a new car. Routine Maintenance Included Routine maintenance such as oil changes and tire rotation helps to keep cars in prime condition and needs to be carried out regularly. Most lease packages include routine maintenance as standard, so you won't need to pay out for the usual expenses of servicing your car. Regular Access to New Cars Ford technology is constantly advancing, which means new and exciting features are regularly included or made available on the latest models. When your lease expires, you can opt to sign a lease on a brand-new model, giving you access to the latest innovations. Multiple Ford Leasing Options When you purchase a car, it's yours until you decide to sell it, but leasing offers multiple options. When the lease expires, you can choose to hand the car back and walk away, or you can sign another agreement for a new car. If you love the car, you can choose to purchase it, either during your lease or at the end of the term. Talk to the dealership when setting up the lease to ensure it's structured to give you the options you want. Cons of Leasing Mileage Restrictions The terms of a lease specify how many miles are included before extra costs start to apply. For many drivers, the allowable mileage is more than sufficient to cover what they need throughout the year. However, for high-mileage drivers, this restriction may mean that leasing isn't the most cost-effective option. Before making a decision, talk to the dealership about alternative leasing packages that offer a higher mileage allowance. Penalties for Wear and Tear Leasing a car is the equivalent of borrowing it for a specified period of time. This means when it comes to returning it, the car needs to be in good condition, without excessive wear-and-tear. The terms of your lease will specify what's reasonable, but you won't be penalized for normal wear and tear that always occurs over a car's lifetime. Leasing is a flexible option that works well for many drivers, but it won't be right for everyone. There are many other pros and cons to consider, so drop by Coughlin Ford of Circleville in Circleville, OH today to find out more.

Each moment of combustion inside the cylinders of your car's engine requires a careful balance of fuel and oxygen to generate power efficiently, but a clogged air filter can restrict the airflow and interrupt the entire process. With a good Ford air filter maintenance procedure, as explained below, you'll keep your engine breathing and combusting smoothly for years to come. Replace Your Air Filter Once a Year Your engine's air filter primarily catches dust and dirt before it enters the engine. If you drive frequently in heavy traffic, your filter will also fill up with airborne contaminants from exhaust fumes. On top of that, filters have to contend with insects and occasional leaves, and other larger debris. In typical driving conditions, the air filter will be fine for a year before it starts to clog up enough to limit the inflow of air. A yearly replacement schedule is therefore usually sufficient to ensure a clean inflow of air. Check Your Filter Before Each Oil Change It's a good idea to check your air filter before each oil change, just in case it's deteriorating more rapidly than expected. Then, if the filter seems the worse for wear, you can have a new one installed while visiting our dealership. The air filter is located inside the filter housing under the hood. You'll need to raise the housing cover to remove the filter and inspect it. Check between the filter's pleats and hold it up to the light. If there are large patches of clogged grime or the light barely passes through the filter, you probably need a new one. Notice Symptoms of a Clogged Air Filter If your filter is too dirty, you'll notice various issues relating to the engine. Your car is likely to lose power, and the spark plugs may misfire, causing the engine to sputter and shudder. Misfiring can lead to engine stalls when you slow down, and idling will become louder and less smooth. You may also see black smoke emerging from the tailpipe behind you as fuel leaks back into the exhaust pipes. This is sometimes accompanied by backfiring as fuel ignites outside of the cylinders. If you don't fix misfiring spark plugs quickly, the catalytic converter can become damaged or even destroyed. All these warning signs should prompt you to check your air filter at once. Allow our technicians to install a fresh filter in your engine compartment. Come to Coughlin Ford of Circleville in Circleville, OH. We can quickly return your engine to peak performance and keep it that way with regular automotive services.

Visibility is all-important when driving after dark, and Ford is continuously innovating to help enhance your nighttime driving safety. With the Ford Adaptive Headlights feature, your car's headlamps swivel as you turn, illuminating the road you're about to move into. This reduces your blind spots and makes you far less likely to be taken by surprise when handling a curve or cornering in conditions with no or low light. How To Activate Adaptive Headlights This technology can work any time you're driving over 3 mph. To turn Adaptive Headlights on, go to Settings in the SYNC system on your instrument panel. Select Vehicle and scroll down until you see Lighting. Select this, and then use the Adaptive Headlights toggle to activate the system. Your headlights will now turn in the same direction as the steering wheel. How the Technology Works Sophisticated sensors and a connection to your steering wheel tell the headlights when your car is turning and the precise degree of the turning angle. It also takes other factors into consideration, such as vehicle speed and road conditions; GPS and other location info help with this. Using all this data, the headlights swivel at just the right angle to keep your visibility maximized. Tips for Handling Curves at Night For optimal safety when tackling curves after dark or in any low-light condition, always slow down when approaching a curve. React calmly and appropriately to any suddenly appearing hazard, without oversteering. If another car is coming from the opposite direction, avoid looking directly into its headlights in case they neglect to lower their high beams; a good trick to help with this is to focus instead on the white road markings ahead. Combine Adaptive Lights With Auto High Beams Another important safety feature in your Ford is Auto High Beams. This feature allows your car to detect oncoming cars and then automatically lower your high beam headlights to avoid blinding the other driver before switching them back on once the car has passed. For optimal safety, it's advisable to have both of these highly effective safety features activated whenever road visibility is lessened. Discover More Safety Features at Your Local Ford Dealership You can see Adaptive Headlights in action today with a test drive.

How often do you find yourself thinking about parts of your vehicle, like its fuel pump, injectors, tank, filter, lines, hoses, and regulators? Not often or at all? Then you're not alone. Most people only think about these things when they experience poor vehicle performance. However, the fuel system is an integral part of ensuring your vehicle continues to run efficiently. With some simple tips, you'll learn how to get the most from your car with Ford fuel system maintenance. Your Ford Fuel System Maintenance: Service Tips Fuel Tank Like your body, what you put in your car's tank matters. You want to ensure that you are using high-quality fuel. Low-quality fuel can contain contaminants such as sulfur, lead, dirt, debris, water, sediment, and microbial growth that can clog fuel injectors and filters, corrode fuel tanks and lines, causing your car's engine to stall or fail. High-quality fuel can reduce the buildup of deposits in your engine and keep it running longer without long-term issues. Keep your gas tank full to avoid damaging the fuel pump. When your tank is near empty, the fuel pump has to work harder to keep the engine running. Avoid letting your tank fall below a quarter full. Fuel Filter The fuel filter protects your engine and other components from dirt, rust, debris, and other contaminants. Replace your car's fuel filter according to the Ford maintenance schedule for your vehicle, or if you experience rough idling, difficulty starting your car, decreased fuel economy, or overall poor performance. Fuel Injectors Cleaning your fuel injectors can improve fuel efficiency and overall engine performance. It is recommended that they be cleaned every 60,000 to 90,000 miles, though some models may require it more often. Fuel injectors help maintain fuel flow and spray, and it is important to prevent them from becoming clogged to avoid uneven fuel distribution. Fuel System Cleaning An important part of maintaining your car's fuel system is fuel system cleaning. Clean the fuel system every 15,000 to 30,000 miles or according to your vehicle's maintenance schedule to help remove buildup of debris, varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits in your system. Routine Maintenance and Inspections Keeping your car on a regular maintenance schedule can help prevent major issues and protect your fuel system. Each maintenance visit should include an inspection of your fuel system and allow you to discuss performance issues with your service provider. Now that you have your car's fuel system on your mind and know how to better maintain your Ford, it is time to schedule a visit with our service department at Coughlin Ford of Circleville, OH. You can trust that our Ford-trained technicians will take care of your car's fuel system maintenance needs.

Has your engine begun to cough and sputter? Is it taking longer to start in the morning? It may be time to replace one or more of your spark plugs, which are crucial for the combustion process to work. Here's a guide to Ford spark plug replacement and how long each type of spark plug lasts. Copper Spark Plugs The most widely used spark plugs are made of copper, typically with nickel alloy at the electrodes. These metals are wonderfully conductive for electricity but also have the broadest electrode diameter, which requires more current draw for each spark. As copper and nickel alloy are softer metals, copper plugs wear down fastest and will usually need to be replaced every two years (20,000 to 30,000 miles). Platinum Spark Plugs While platinum is less conductive than copper, it's far more durable. Spark plugs with platinum electrodes can be expected to last 60,000 to 100,000 miles, or four to seven years. They sometimes have slightly worse sparking performance than copper plugs but make up for this in lifespan. Iridium Spark Plugs The gold standard of spark plugs are made from iridium, which is highly conductive and also has a much lower melting point than both copper and platinum. Your iridium plugs should last for 75,000 to 125,000 miles (five to nine years) and sometimes longer. The hardness of iridium allows for very narrow electrode tips and a highly concentrated spark, which equates to excellent engine performance. Signs of Worn-Out Spark Plugs If one or more of your spark plugs is fouled or faulty, your engine will misfire. This means the spark plug is no longer igniting the fuel properly inside the cylinder. Your car will lose power, making it harder to accelerate, and also idle roughly, sputtering and shaking as it clearly struggles to stay alive. You may also experience backfiring and see smoke emerge from the tailpipe as unburned fuel leaks back into the exhaust system. Misfiring spark plugs can rapidly lead to other problems, such as unburned fuel in the exhaust damaging or destroying the catalytic converter. With the engine failing to combust fuel effectively, you might also find yourself suddenly stranded at an inopportune moment, unable to start your car. Always have failing spark plugs repaired or replaced as soon as you notice signs of misfiring.
