Maintenance Schedule and Record
The required Scheduled Maintenance Services listed in this booklet are considered essential to the proper operation, safety and performance of your Ford Motor Company vehicle. We recommend that you also perform the Owner Maintenance Checks listed. These services are matters of day-to-day care that are also important to the proper operation of your vehicle. The recommended lubricants, fluids and service parts conforming to Ford Specifications are available from your dealer.
This booklet gives you a place to record the services that are performed on your vehicle so that you can keep a record of when parts should be checked or replaced. Give your Maintenance Schedule and Record booklet to the dealer service manager.
Maintenance Schedule and Record 3
Maintenance: An investment
An investment which will pay dividends in the form of improved reliability, durability, and resale value.
To assure the durability of your vehicle and its emission control systems, it is necessary that scheduled maintenance be performed at the designated intervals.
Ford strongly recommends the use of genuine Ford replacement parts. If other than Ford or Motorcraft parts or Ford authorized remanufactured parts are used for maintenance replacements or for the service of components affecting emission control, such non-Ford parts should 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 booklet for complete warranty information.
No Cost PCV Valve Replacement
THE PCV VALVE IS A CRITICAL EMISSION COMPONENT. YOUR DEALER WILL REPLACE THE VALVE AT NO COST AT 60,000 MILES/96,000 KILOMETERS (EXCEPT CANADA AND CALIFORNIA VEHICLES).
