Get the most from your vehicle with routine maintenance
Routine maintenance is the best way to help ensure you get the performance, dependability, long life and
resale value you expect from your vehicle. This is exactly why we’ve put together the Scheduled
Maintenance Guide. It outlines the services required to properly maintain your vehicle and when they
should be performed. The focus is on maintaining your vehicle while it’s running great, which goes a long
way toward preventing major repairs and expenses later.
Here are a few suggestions to help you get started on the road to routine maintenance:
• Familiarize yourself with your vehicle by going through your
Owner’s Guide
• Take a few minutes to review this handy Scheduled Maintenance Guide
• Make it a habit to use this guide to record scheduled maintenance
• Consider your Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealership for all your vehicle’s needs
Protect your warranty!
Routine maintenance is not only the best way to help keep your vehicle running great, it’s also the best
way to protect your warranty. While maintenance and repair services may be performed by you or
by any automotive service provider you choose, it is your responsibility to see that all scheduled maintenance
is performed and that the materials used meet Ford Engineering specifications. Failure to perform
scheduled maintenance specified in this guide will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the
lack of maintenance. We can’t stress enough how important it is to keep records of all maintenance. This guide
will help you do just that. Ford Motor Company will not deny a warranty claim simply because there is
no documentation. However, damage or failures due to neglect or a lack of proper maintenance
are not covered under warranty.
Keeping maintenance records is easy with the Scheduled Maintenance Guide
It’s important to document the maintenance of your vehicle. Every time you bring your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance, be sure to present this guide and certify the work. Also record the date of service,
mileage at the time of service, and attach your receipt. This will make record keeping easy and,
should your vehicle ever require warranty coverage, you will have all the documentation to show you’ve
properly maintained it.
Maintenance Interval
Ford Motor Company establishes recommended maintenance intervals based upon engineering testing to
determine the most appropriate mileage to perform the various maintenance services. This protects your vehicle
at the lowest overall cost to you. Ford Motor Company recommends that you not deviate from the
maintenance schedules presented in this Scheduled Maintenance Guide.

Determine which maintenance schedule to follow
It’s important to follow the maintenance schedule that most closely mirrors your driving habits and the
conditions under which you drive. For this reason, the Scheduled Maintenance Guide is divided into two basic
maintenance schedules: the
Determining which maintenance schedule is right for you is easy. For the most part, do you drive your
Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle under typical, everyday conditions? If so, follow the
Normal Schedule
and
Special Operating Conditions
Normal Schedule.
Special Operating Conditions
However, if one of the Special Operating Conditions outlined below better describes how you typically
operate your vehicle, you will need to perform some maintenance services more often than the Normal Schedule
calls for.
• Towing a trailer or carrying heavy loads
• Extensive idling and/or driving at low-speeds for long distances
• Driving in dusty conditions
• Off-road operation
Important: For further details and information regarding these Special Operating Conditions see page 25.
Exceptions
Some exceptions for specific vehicles and special applications are outlined below. In addition, you will find

General Owner’s
Information
If you’re unsure which maintenance schedule to follow, ask your Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealership, or
visit the Maintenance area of www.genuineservice.com.
Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a normal operating characteristic and, by itself, does not necessarily
indicate a concern or that the fluid needs to be changed. However, discolored fluids that also show signs of
overheating and/or foreign material contamination should be inspected immediately by a qualified
expert such as the factory-trained technicians at your Ford or Lincoln Mercury Dealership. Your vehicle’s oils
and fluids should be changed at the specified intervals or in conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a
viable way to change fluid for many vehicle sub-systems during scheduled maintenance. It is critical that
systems are flushed only with new fluid that is the same as that required to fill and operate the system, or
using a Ford-approved flushing chemical.

Factory Authorized Systems Checks
In the event your vehicle experiences a component related concern, please contact your Ford, Lincoln or
Mercury dealership. The Ford Motor Company Trained Technicians who work at Ford, Lincoln or Mercury
dealerships are specifically trained to understand your vehicle.
A proper repair begins with a thorough system check. Factory Authorized Systems Checks can ONLY be
found at a Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership. In some circumstances, the Technician may need to request
your authorization to perform additional operations to determine the final diagnosis. The Technician’s
goal is to ensure that your vehicle is fixed right the first time, at the best value to you.
The following list represents several of the Factory Authorized Systems Checks available at participating
Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealerships:
• Climate Control
• Check Engine Light
• All Wheel Drive/Four-Wheel Drive
• Automatic Transmission
• Engine Cooling/Cabin Heating
• Suspension/Steering
• Charge/Start/Battery
• Wheel Alignment
• Brakes
And when your vehicle needs replacement parts, insist that only parts meeting Ford Motor Company’s
specifications are used. Genuine Ford and Motorcraft branded parts meet these specifications. You can find
them at your Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealership. Look for the following brand logos to ensure the
parts installed on your vehicle meet Ford Motor Company Specifications.

Tires
Proper tire maintenance and replacement are critical to your vehicle’s performance and helps keep you and
your passengers safe. Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the same size, load index,
speed rating and type (such as P-metric versus LT-metric or all-season versus all-terrain) as those originally
provided by Ford. The recommended tire and wheel size may be found on either the Safety
Compliance Certification Label or the Tire Label which is located on the B-Pillar or edge of the driver’s door.
If this information is not found on these labels then you should consult your Ford Dealer. Use of any
tire or wheel not recommended by Ford can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could
result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
Additionally the use of non-recommended tires and wheels could cause steering, suspension, axle or transfer
case/power transfer unit failure. If you have questions regarding tire replacement, see an authorized
dealer. When you need to replace your tires, please visit your Ford or Lincoln Mercury Dealership for name-brand
tires and people who know your vehicle.
