Base Level Service

At about six months in or 5,000 miles, you need to take your Explorer in for its first service. Keep in mind that you'll have to repeat base level service for all subsequent services at regular intervals. For this service, though, all you really need to do is get your oil and oil filter changed. You can get your tires rotated, too, if you want to ensure they're wearing down evenly, but it's probably fine to wait until your next service.

10,000 Miles

For your second service, you most definitely need to get your tires rotated if you haven't already. Additionally, make sure you're having the mechanic inspect all your important systems from your brakes to your hoses. While your brake pads probably still have a few more miles in them, they could have worn down already, depending on your driving habits. Make sure you get your cabin air filter replaced as well.

30,000 Miles

This service is somewhat major as you could see quite a few different replacements happen. You'll have to get your brake fluid, engine coolant, and transmission fluid flushed and replaced. Make sure you also get your fuel filter and spark plugs replaced to ensure everything stays operating as optimally as possible. Your tires may need to be replaced, so don't be surprised if your mechanic points out that your tread is getting thin.

60,000 Miles

At 60,000 miles, it's time to replace your belts. Both the drive belt and the timing belt need to be replaced to ensure everything is running smoothly. Make sure you have your hoses inspected as well, as it's not entirely uncommon for there to be some leaks at this point. Are you continuing to get your oil changed? Don't forget that essential service.

90,000 Miles

For this service, you need to make sure you get your shock absorbers inspected. They've taken a lot of hits over the years, and you need to maintain the satisfying suspension you're used to having. Additionally, the engine coolant hose will need replacing at this point. You may be able to hold out if it's not leaking yet, but it might be better to be proactive.
