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 MaintenanceSchedule and Record booklet to the dealer service
manager.
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).

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.
