As the only part of your car in direct contact with the road, your tires are under a great deal of pressure. As such, it's vital to keep them in excellent shape with the Ford tire maintenance guidelines outlined below. With a few routine inspections and services, your tires will last far longer, and you'll also remain much safer on the road. more Check Air Pressure Monthly Tires should never be allowed to become over or under-inflated, which can cause them to lose traction, overheat, or even blow out. At least once a month, use a pressure gauge to check the PSI inside each tire. If the PSI isn't at the exact figure recommended in your owner's manual, release or add air as required. Inspect Your Tires for Damage When checking air pressure, also examine each tire for signs of excessive wear or damage. If you notice any strange bulges, cuts, or embedded objects, have the tire inspected by a trusted technician. Excessive cracks or uneven tire wear could also be a problem. Rotate Your Tires Twice a Year The best solution for uneven wear is to have our tires rotated every six months. During a rotation, our technicians will swap around the tires and also check each one for indications of excessive wear or damage. Check and Correct Tire Alignment Car tires also tend to become misaligned over time, as bumps over potholes gradually push suspension components out of position. So each time you have your tires rotated, it's advisable to have the alignment measured too. If your tires are found to be misaligned, they can be set straight again; the alignment procedure typically takes less than an hour. Balance Your Wheels Too Tires frequently need to be balanced for optimal performance and longevity. Here, the technician uses a specialist weighing machine to find any slightly heavier spots in the tire and then balances things out with carefully applied weights. Have the balance of your tires checked twice a year and rebalanced whenever required. Schedule Professional Ford Tire Maintenance Today While air pressure checks are easy enough to conduct at home, most tire maintenance tasks require specialist tools and know-how. If you arrange a convenient tire servicing schedule with us, we'll courteously remind you whenever it's time for a rotation, alignment, or balancing check. We can also promptly replace worn-out tires. Visit Crown Ford Inc in Lynbrook, NY, today to have your tires and driving returned to full strength, smoothness, and safety.

Summer is finally here in Lynbrook, NY — a time for family road trips, beach days, and enjoying all that Long Island has to offer. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or daily commuting, making sure your Ford vehicle is ready for the warm weather is key to a safe and comfortable driving experience. At Crown Ford Lynbrook, we want to help you prepare your vehicle so you can enjoy summer without unexpected breakdowns or discomfort. Here’s a detailed guide to essential summer maintenance and service tips, designed to keep your Ford running smoothly all season long. 1. Keep Your Engine Cool with a Thorough Cooling System Check Summer heat can put extra strain on your vehicle’s engine, increasing the risk of overheating — one of the most common causes of breakdowns in warm weather. Your cooling system works hard to keep the engine temperature regulated by circulating coolant through the radiator and engine block. When you bring your vehicle to Crown Ford Lynbrook for a summer checkup, our certified technicians will inspect your coolant levels, examine hoses for signs of wear or leaks, and test the radiator for proper function. If your coolant is old or contaminated, a flush and refill might be necessary to maintain peak performance. more 2. Inspect, Inflate, and Rotate Your Tires for Better Safety and Efficiency Tires are your vehicle’s only contact with the road, so maintaining them is critical for safety, fuel efficiency, and handling — especially in summer when heat can cause tire pressure to rise. Heat causes air inside tires to expand, so regularly checking your tire pressure (at least once a month) is important to avoid overinflation or underinflation, both of which can cause premature wear or blowouts. Rotating your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles ensures even tread wear and extends tire life. During your service visit, we’ll also check the tread depth to confirm your tires meet safety standards. 3. Keep Your Cool: Test and Recharge Your Air Conditioning System A functioning air conditioning system isn’t just a comfort feature — it’s essential for driver alertness and passenger comfort during hot summer months. If you notice your A/C blowing warm air or hear unusual noises, it might be time for a recharge or inspection. Our Ford-certified technicians will diagnose your system, check for leaks, and recharge refrigerant levels to restore optimal cooling. Addressing minor issues early can prevent costly repairs and keep your cabin cool even during the hottest days in Lynbrook. 4. Fluid Levels Matter: Top Off Your Vehicle’s Essential Fluids Your vehicle relies on a variety of fluids to operate smoothly and safely. During summer maintenance, we’ll check and refill: Engine oil: Keeps your engine lubricated and running efficiently. High temperatures can accelerate oil breakdown, so timely changes are important. Brake fluid: Ensures your brakes respond properly, especially critical during stop-and-go summer traffic. Transmission fluid: Keeps gears shifting smoothly, particularly important on long highway drives or in heavy traffic. Windshield washer fluid: Vital for maintaining clear visibility against bugs, dust, and road grime common in summer. 5. Clear Vision: Replace Your Windshield Wipers if Needed Summer storms and pollen can obscure your view of the road. Worn wiper blades reduce your visibility during rain, making it dangerous to drive. Inspect your wipers regularly and replace them at the first sign of streaking, cracking, or reduced performance. 6. Battery Health Check: Don’t Let the Heat Drain Your Power High temperatures can cause battery fluid to evaporate, increasing the risk of battery failure. Our team will test your battery’s charge and inspect terminals for corrosion, ensuring your Ford starts reliably every time. Why Choose Crown Ford Lynbrook for Your Summer Vehicle Maintenance? At Crown Ford Lynbrook, our factory-trained technicians specialize in Ford vehicles. We use genuine OEM parts and the latest diagnostic equipment to deliver reliable, high-quality service. Plus, our dealership offers convenient service scheduling, transparent pricing, and seasonal specials to help you maintain your vehicle without breaking the bank.

This all-electric masterpiece goes head-to-head with its gas-guzzling rivels, outshining them by utilizing advanced tech and innovative features. We look at some of the cutting-edge features of the new F-150 Lightning that are helping reimagine the work truck. 1. Fully Electrified Power Ford has taken its popular F-150 and turned it into an all-electric truck without scrimping on power and performance. Its inner workings consist of a dual electric motor that generates a mighty 775 pound-feet of torque, making this electrified pickup as quick as its predecessors. Horsepower and range depend on the battery you opt for, with the base XLT's standard range battery kicking out 452 ponies and achieving an EPA-estimated 240 miles. more However, upgrade to the extended-range battery, which comes as standard on the FLASH, LARIAT, and Premium trims, and the horsepower increases to 580, enabling these Lightnings to shoot from 0 to 60 in just 3.8 seconds. The battery upgrade ups the range to a maximum of 320 miles on a single charge, more than enough juice for a road trip to Atlantic City and back again. 2. Trailering Technologies Haulage ability is an all-important statistic when it comes to work trucks, and the Lightning doesn't disappoint with its 5,000-pound towing capacity. However, equip your F-150 with the extended-range battery and the available Max Trailer Pro package and you can hitch a trailer weighing anything up to 8,500 pounds. To assist with trailer hitching, weighing, and guiding, Ford has fitted every model with cutting-edge trailering tech. Pro Trailer Backup Assist takes over the steering when reversing with a trailer in tow while the Smart Hitch system takes the hassle out of weighing by estimating the tongue weight for you. 3. Mega Power Frunk By turning the F-150 into an EV, Ford has freed up the area under the hood where the gas engine would typically be and turned it into an additional storage area. The 14.1 cubic foot front trunk, or frunk, increases the payload by 400 pounds, has integrated lighting, and can be used as a makeshift cooler for ice and drinks thanks to being constructed from rubberized material and having a drain hole in its base. The F-150 Lightning is a shining example of what happens when a world-leading manufacturer combines electrified power with workhorse capabilities.

One of the most special features of your Ford vehicle is its signature Ford EcoBoost engine. This turbocharged engine is specially designed to optimize the fuel efficiency of your vehicle and improve fuel economy, which is a priority for many modern drivers. Learn when to visit your Ford dealer to keep your engine in good condition. Like any other engine, your EcoBoost engine relies on regular oil changes to protect the engine from excessive heat, friction, and contaminants that can damage parts. It's a good idea to schedule an oil change for your Ford every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, which is usually twice a year for most drivers. If you drive your vehicle in heavy traffic, you may need an oil change more often. more Ford engines typically use synthetic motor oil. Synthetic engine oil is formulated to be more resistant to heat, which means the oil won't degrade as quickly and that your engine will be protected from heat. Some synthetic oil can help improve the fuel economy of your engine, as well. If you aren't sure which engine oil is best for your Ford model, check your owner's manual. Key Engine Services Along with routine oil changes, a Ford mechanic can also perform engine services that enhance the performance of your engine. Cleaning the fuel injection system can maintain your vehicle's incredible fuel economy, while replacing air filters will ensure the engine is getting enough clean air. Engine components such as the turbocharger and spark plugs should also be regularly maintained if you want to preserve the performance of your Ford. Ask Your Ford Dealer: Do You Need an Engine Diagnostic? Even when you do everything right by keeping up with your vehicle's routine service appointments, there may be times when your vehicle encounters performance issues. If you notice your engine is slow to start or you need to fuel up more frequently than usual, an engine diagnostic text can be used to pinpoint problems affecting your vehicle's performance. Diagnostic tests usually take an hour and repairs are often done on the same day. The cornerstone of your Ford's impeccable performance is the EcoBoost engine beneath your hood. From small Ford models to the most powerful workhorse trucks, this eco-friendly engine boasts plenty of power and has excellent fuel efficiency estimates.
