Routine maintenance
Hello,
I am getting ready to work on my mom-in-laws 93 Explorer that she just bought. Before I get my hands dirty on it I just have a few questions.
1. In light of what happened in the past with the Firestone tires, what should the tire pressure be?
2. What is the oil capacity?
3. Is there anything else I should be concerned about.
Thanks.
JM

oil capacity should be @ 5qts, tire pressure should be at least 35psi,but look on the tire sidewall for specific psi regarding air pressure & vehichle weight load.if you have oem size tires & wheels,you should be ok, as long as you stay with that,hope this helps, ps after i submitted reply, sumittle did not put in (tires), it should say tires and wheels.

If it hasnt been done change all the drivetrain fluids for good measure. Such as front and read diff and Transfer case they can get nasty and most non FTE people forget about it.
Also as PM goes, flushing the radiator, and do the bearings need grease? Those are the major items i would immediately address(besides an LOF)
