GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

Why maintain your vehicle?

This guide describes the scheduled maintenance required for your

vehicle. Carefully following this schedule helps protect against major

repair expenses resulting from neglect or inadequate maintenance and

may also help to increase the value of your vehicle when you sell or

trade it.

It is your responsibility to see that all scheduled maintenance is

performed and that the materials used meet Ford engineering

specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance specific in this

guide will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of

maintenance. Be sure receipts for completed maintenance are kept with

the vehicle and confirmation of the work performed is always recorded in

this guide.

Your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer, or Ford or Lincoln Mercury Quality

Care Center has factory trained technicians who can perform the

required maintenance using genuine Ford parts. They are committed to

meeting your service needs and to assuring your continuing satisfaction.

Protecting your investment

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

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

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

imperative that scheduled maintenance be completed at the designated

intervals.

Ford strongly recommends the use of genuine Ford replacement parts.

Parts other than Ford, Motorcraft or Ford authorized remanufactured

parts that are used for maintenance replacement or for the service of

components affecting emission control must be equivalent to genuine

Ford Motor Company parts in performance and durability. It is the

owner’s responsibility to determine the equivalency of such parts. Please

consult your Warranty Guide for complete warranty information.

Engine Emissions label

Emissions information appears on the Engine Emissions label on the

underside of the hood. This decal identifies engine displacement and

provides certain engine specifications.
