GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
The required scheduled maintenance services listed in this guide 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 Ford or
Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
This guide 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 “Service Guide” to your Ford or
Lincoln-Mercury service manager.
Maintenance: An investment
Maintenance is an investment that 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, the 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 Information 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 96,000 kilometers (60,000 miles), except in
Canada and California.

General maintenance information
WHEEL LUG NUTS
Wheel lug nuts must be tightened to proper torque specifications at 800
km/500 miles of new vehicle operation (160 km/100 miles for vehicles
equipped for snow plowing). Proper torque specifications are provided in
your “Owner’s Guide.” Also retighten to proper torque specification at
800 km/500 miles after (1) any wheel change or (2) any other time the
wheel lug nuts have been loosened.

WHAT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE SHOULD YOU FOLLOW?
NORMAL SCHEDULE
Follow the Normal Schedule for most normal everyday driving
conditions.
SEVERE DUTY SCHEDULE
Follow the Severe Duty Schedule if your driving habits FREQUENTLY
include one or more of the following conditions:
• Towing a trailer or using a car-top carrier.
• Operating in severe dust conditions.
• Extensive idling, such as police, taxi or door-to-door delivery service.
• Short trips of less than 16 km (10 miles) when outside temperatures
remain below 0°F (-18°C).
Idling the engine for extended periods will accumulate more hours of use
on your vehicle than is actually indicated by the mileage odometer.
Consequently, the odometer reading can be often misleading when
determining the right time to change your engine oil and filter.
If you are using your Ford vehicle in a manner which allows it to remain
stationary while the engine is running for long periods (door to door
delivery, taxi, police, power/utility company trucks or similar duty), then
Ford recommends you increase the frequency of oil and filter changes to
4
General maintenance information
an interval equivalent to 200 engine hours of use. Since most vehicles are
not equipped with hourmeters, it may be necessary for you to
approximate your idle time and plan oil/filter changes accordingly.
