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 responsibilty 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
General Maintenance Information
performed is always recorded in this guide.
Your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer, or Ford or Lincoln Mercury Auto Care service
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 assure 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.

General Maintenance Information
PCV Valve Replacement
The PCV valve is a critical emission component. For the 2000 model year Ranger
light truck equipped with 2.5L 4 cylinder engine, the dealer will replace the
PCV valve free of charge at 60,000 miles except in Canada, on California certified
vehicles registered in California, and on California certified vehicles registered
in states that have adopted California standards. The valve should be replaced again
at 120,000 miles, but this will be at the owner’s expense.
For all passenger cars and light trucks under 6,000 Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW),
regardless of engine the PCV valve should be replaced at 100,000 miles.
This replacement will be at the owner’s expense.
For all light trucks over 6,000 GVW, regardless of engine, the PCV valve should
be replaced at 120,000 miles. This replacement will be at the owner’s
expense.
If you are unsure about your engine type or GVW ask your dealer.
Which Maintenance Schedule Should You
Follow?
General Maintenance Information

everyday driving conditions. The maintenance frequency represented in this schedule
typifies what the vast majority of vehicle operators will require. The listed

General Maintenance Information
Special Operating Conditions
If you operate your Ford/Lincoln/Mercury primarily in one of the more
demanding “Special Operating Conditions” listed below, you will need to
have some items maintained more frequently, see page 35. If you only occasionally
operate your vehicle under these conditions, it is not necessary to perform the
additional maintenance. For specific recommendations, see your dealership service
advisor or qualified service professional.
These special operating conditions are:
• Towing or carrying heavy loads
• Extensive idling and/or driving at low-speeds for long distances
General Maintenance Information
• Driving in dusty conditions
• Off-road operation
Exceptions
In addition, there are several exceptions to the Normal Schedule for specific
vehicles or special applications on page 33.
These exceptions are:
• Natural Gas Vehicles - replace the gas tank(s)
• Class A Motorhome - change the brake fluid
• Normal vehicle axle - maintenance and lubrication
• Police and Taxi vehicle axles - maintenance and lubrication
If you have any questions about your driving conditions, or for further
clarification, please see your dealer.

Owner Checks and Services

Checks and Services
