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?

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

Owner Checks and Services

Refer to Mileage Intervals for Additional Checks and Services
Certain basic maintenance checks and inspections should be performed by the owner or a service technician at the intervals indicated. Service information and supporting specifications are provided in the Owner’s Guide.
