Scheduled Maintenance

ENERALMAINTENANCEINFORMATION

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

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.

Chemicals and Additives

Non-Ford approved chemicals or additives are not required for factory recommended maintenance. In fact, Ford Motor Company recommends against the use of such additive products unless specifically recommended by Ford for a particular application.

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.
