Protecting Your Investment

Maintenance is an investment that will pay dividends in the form of

improved reliability, durability and resale value. To maintain the proper

performance of your vehicle and its emission control systems, it is

imperative that scheduled maintenance be completed at the designated

intervals.

Your vehicle is equipped with the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM)

system which displays a message in the information display at the proper

oil change service interval; this interval may be up to one year or

10000 miles (16000 kilometers). When ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE or

OIL CHANGE REQUIRED appears in the information display, it is time

for an oil change; the oil change must be done within two weeks or

500 miles (800 kilometers) of the ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE or OIL

CHANGE REQUIRED message appearing. The Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor

must be reset after each oil change; see the Information Displays

chapter.

If your information display is prematurely reset or becomes inoperative,

you should perform the oil change interval at six months or 5000 miles

(8000 kilometers) from your last oil change. Never exceed one year or

10000 miles (16000 kilometers) between oil change intervals.

Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built with multiple, complex,

performance systems. Every manufacturer develops these systems using

different specifications and performance features. That is why it is

important to rely upon your dealership to properly diagnose and repair

your vehicle.

Ford Motor Company has recommended maintenance intervals for

various parts and component systems based upon engineering testing.

Ford Motor Company relies upon this testing to determine the most

appropriate mileage for replacement of oils and fluids to protect your

vehicle at the lowest overall cost to you and recommends against

maintenance schedules that deviate from the scheduled maintenance

information.

Ford strongly recommends the use of only genuine Ford, Motorcraft or

Ford-authorized remanufactured replacement parts because they are

engineered for your vehicle.

Additives and Chemicals

Ford Motor Company recommended additives and chemicals are listed in

the owner manual and in the Ford Workshop Manual. Additional

chemicals or additives not approved by Ford Motor Company are not

recommended as part of normal maintenance. Please consult your

warranty information.
