Normal Schedule: 8,000 km (5,000 miles) or six months, whichever occurs first. Severe Duty Schedule: 5,000 km (3,000 miles) or three months, whichever occurs first. See appropriate Schedule.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
This Service Guide indicates the scheduled maintenance required for your vehicle. Proper maintenance guards against major repair expenses resulting from neglect or inadequate maintenance, and may help increase the value you receive when you sell or trade your vehicle.
It is your responsibility to make sure that all of the scheduled maintenance is performed and that the materials used meet Ford engineering specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance, as specified in the Service Guide, will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of maintenance. Make sure that receipts for completed maintenance work are retained with the vehicle and confirmation of maintenance work is always entered in your Service Guide.
Your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealership, or Ford or Lincoln-Mercury Auto Care service center, has factory-trained technicians who can perform the required maintenance using genuine Ford parts. The dealership looks forward to meeting your every service need to maximize your satisfaction with your vehicle.
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.
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.

Rear axles containing synthetic lubricant are lubricated for life. These lubricants are not to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service required, or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed anytime the axle has been submerged in water.
Non-synthetic rear axle lubricants should be replaced every 5,000 km (3,000 miles) or 3 months, whichever occurs first, during extended trailer tow operation above 21°C (70°F) ambient and wide open throttle for extended periods above 72 km/h (45 mph). The 5,000 km (3,000 mile) lube change interval may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic gear lubricant meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192–A, part number F1TZ-19580–B or equivalent. Add 118 ml (4 oz.) of additive friction modifier C8AZ-19B546–A (EST-M2C118–A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles. The axle lubricant should be changed anytime the axle has been submerged in water.
Police and taxi vehicles:
Replace rear axle lubricant every 160,000 km (100,000 miles). Rear axle lubricant change may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic gear lubricant meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192–A, part number F1TZ-19580–B or equivalent.

(1) Extremely dusty conditions will require more frequent replacement of you air filter. Check your air filter at 5,000 km (3000 miles). If it is dirty replace it and then keep replacing it at the same interval (every 5000 km [3000 miles]). If it’s not dirty, check it again at 10,000 km (6,000 miles) and again at 15,000 km (9,000 miles) until you determine your unique maintenance interval. Do not go beyond 50,000 km (30,000 miles) as described in the chart. If in doubt, see your dealer.
(2) If you operate you vehicle “off road” in water that is deeper than the hubs (1/2 wheel height) then these items must be serviced daily.
(3) City delivery vehicles and other unique applications that require constant turning may need more frequent tire rotation. You may need to develop your own tire rotation interval based on your own observations of tire wear. If in doubt, see your dealer.
(4) Wheel lug nuts must be retightened to proper torque specifications at 800 km/500 miles of new vehicle operation (160 km/100 miles and 800 km/500 miles for vehicles equipped dual rear wheels or equipped for snowplowing). Proper torque specifications are provided in your “Owner’s Guide.” Also retighten to proper torque specification at 800 km/500 miles after any wheel change or any other time the wheel lug nuts have been loosened.
(5) On dual rear wheel vehicles, rotate the front tires side-to-side without disturbing the rear tires.
(6) At 96,000 km (60,000 miles) your dealer will replace the PCV valve at no cost except on Canada and California vehicles.

Owner maintenance checks
Listed below are vehicle maintenance checks and inspections that should be performed by the owner or qualified service technician at the indicated intervals. Service information and supporting specifications are provided in the “Owner Guide”.

The owner maintenance checks are generally not covered by warranties and you may be charged for labor, parts and lubricants used.
WHEN YOU STOP FOR FUEL:
Check the engine oil level.Check the windshield washer fluid level.Look for low or under-inflated tires.
WHILE OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE:
Note any changes in the sound of the exhaust or any smell of exhaust
fumes in the vehicle.
Check for vibrations in the steering wheel. Notice any increased
steering effort or looseness in the steering wheel or change in its straight ahead position.
Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one
side when traveling on smooth, level road.
When stopping, listen and check for strange sounds, pulling to one
side , increased pedal travel or “hard to push” brake pedal.
If any slipping or changes in the operation of your transmission occur,
check the transmission fluid level.
Check automatic transmission P (Park) function.Check parking brake.

Owner maintenance checks
AT LEAST MONTHLY:
Check coolant level in the coolant recovery reservoir.Check the operation of all exterior lamps, including brakelamps, turn
signals and hazard warning flashers.
Check for fluid leaks by inspecting the surface beneath you vehicle for
oil, coolant or other fluid drips. Clean water from the air conditioning system is normal.
AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR:
Check power steering fluid level.Check windshield washer spray and wiper operation. Clean wiper
blades with clean cloth dampened with washer fluid.
Check radiator, heater and air conditioning hose fro leaks or damage.Check for worn tires and loose wheel lug nuts.Clean body and door drain holes.Flush complete underside of vehicle.Inspect underbody components for damage.Check parking brake system.Check headlamp alignment.Check lap and shoulder belts for wear and function.Inspect seatback latches for proper operation.Check air pressure in spare tire.

Owner maintenance checks
AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR:
Lubricate door hinges and checks and hood hinges.Lubricate door and hood locks and latches.Lubricate door weather-strips.Clean battery and terminals, check electrolyte level on low
maintenance (auxiliary and replacement) batteries.
If any of these conditions are noted, bring them to the attention of your dealer or qualified service technician as soon as possible.
