GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Get the most from your vehicle with routine maintenance.
Routine maintenance is the best way to help ensure you get the performance, dependability, long life and resale value you expect from your vehicle. This is exactly why weve put together the Scheduled Maintenance Guide; basically, it outlines what service your vehicle may require and when. The focus is on maintaining your vehicle while its running great, which goes a long way toward preventing major repairs and expenses later. Here are a few suggestions to help you get started on the road to routine maintenance: --Familiarize yourself with your vehicle by going through your Owners Guide --Take a few minutes to review this handy Scheduled Maintenance Guide --Make it a habit to use this guide to record scheduled maintenance --Consider your Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealership for all your vehicles needs

Protect your warranty!

Routine maintenance is not only the best way to help keep your vehicle running great, its also the best way to protect your warranty. While maintenance and repair services may be performed by you or by any automotive service provider you choose, 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 specified in this guide will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of maintenance. We cant stress enough how important it is to keep records of all maintenance. This guide will help you do just that. While Ford Motor Company will not deny a warranty claim simply because there is no documentation, damage or failures due to a lack of proper maintenance or neglect are not covered under warranty.
Keeping maintenance records is easy with the Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
Its important to document the maintenance of your vehicle. Every time you bring your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance, be sure to present this guide and certify the work. Also record the date of service, mileage at the time of service, and attach your receipt. Not only will this make record keeping easy, but also should your vehicle ever require warranty coverage, you will have all the documentation to show youve properly maintained it.

Maintenance Interval

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 Guide.

4 Scheduled Maintenance

General Owners Information

Determine which maintenance schedule to follow.
Its important to follow the maintenance schedule that most closely mirrors your driving habits and the conditions under which you drive. For this reason, the Scheduled Maintenance Guide is divided into two basic maintenance schedules: the Normal Schedule (further segmented into Trucks, Fullsize Vans & SUVs and Cars & Minivans) and Special Operating Conditions. Determining which maintenance schedule is right for you is easy. For the most part, do you drive your Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle under typical, everyday conditions? If so, follow the Normal Schedule Trucks, Fullsize Vans & SUVs, or Normal Schedule Cars & Minivans. General Owners Information
Special Operating Conditions:
If you feel you may not operate your vehicle under normal / everyday conditions, but primarily under the special operating conditions outlined below, you will need to increase the frequency of some maintenance operations.
Towing a trailer or carrying heavy loads Extensive idling and/or driving at low-speeds for long distances Driving in dusty conditions Off-road operation Use of E85 fuel 50% of the time or greater (flex fuel vehicles only)
Important: For further details and information regarding these Special Operating Conditions see page 42.

Exceptions

There are some exceptions to all schedules for specific vehicles and special applications, outlined below. You will find further information under Exceptions on page 46
Engine oil and Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant - time and mileage based interval Class A Motorhome - change the brake fluid and automatic transmission fluid Rear axle maintenance and lubrication
Last of all, if youre unsure about which maintenance schedule to follow, ask your Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealership, or visit our website, www.genuineservice.com, then go to the service pick.
Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a normal operating characteristic of the chemical compound and may not necessarily demonstrate that a fluid needs to be changed. Oils and Fluids identified in the Owners Maintenance Guide should be changed at the specified interval or in conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a viable way to change fluid for many vehicle sub-systems during scheduled maintenance and should only be done using the same fluid required to finish the maintenance procedure, or a Ford approved flushing chemical.

Scheduled Maintenance 5

Chemicals and Additives
Non-Ford approved chemicals or additives are not required for factory recommended maintenance. In fact, Ford Motor Company recommends against the use of such additive products unless specifically recommended by Ford for a particular application. Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built with multiple complex performance systems. Every manufacturer develops these systems using different specifications and performance features. Thats why its important to rely on your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership to properly diagnose and repair your vehicle.
