Maintenance Schedule and Record
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 Maintenance Schedule 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).

(1) Extremely dusty conditions will require more frequent
replacement of your air filter. Check your air filter at 3,000 miles (5,000 km). If it is dirty replace it and then keep replacing it at the same interval (every 3,000 miles [5,000 km]). If it’s not dirty, check it again at 6,000 miles (10,000 km) and again at 9,000 miles (15,000 km) until you determine your unique maintenance interval. Do not go beyond 30,000 miles (50,000 km) as described in the chart. If in doubt, see your dealer.
(2) If you operate your 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 500 miles/800 km of new vehicle operation (100 miles/160 km and 500 miles/800 km for vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels or equipped for snowplowing). Proper torque specifications are provided in your Owner Guide. Also retighten to proper torque specification at 500 miles/800 km after (1) any wheel change or (2) any other time the wheel lug nuts have been loosened.
(5) At 60,000 miles (96,000 km) your dealer will replace the
PCV valve at no cost except on Canada and California vehicles.

Owner Maintenance Checks
The following lists are vehicle checks and inspections that should be performed by the owner or qualified service technician at the frequencies indicated to help ensure safe, dependable operation of your vehicle.
Any adverse conditions should be brought to the attention of your dealer or qualified service technician for service advice as soon as possible.
These 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.
52 Owner Maintenance Checks
Page 53
When stopping, listen and check for strange
sounds, pulling to one side, increased brake 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.
At least monthly:
Check coolant level in the coolant recovery
reservoir. Check operation of lamps, horn, turn signals,
windshield wipers and washers, and hazard warning flasher.
Check for fluid leaks by inspecting the
surface beneath your vehicle for oil, coolant, or other fluid drips. Clean water from the air conditioning system is normal.
Owner Maintenance Checks 53
Page 54
At least twice a year:
(i.e., every Spring and Fall)
Check power steering fluid level.
Check windshield washer spray and wiper
operation. Clean wiper blades with clean cloth dampened with washer fluid.
Check fluid level in clutch master cylinder.
Check radiator, heater and air-conditioning
hoses for 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.

54 Owner Maintenance Checks
Page 55
At least once a year:
Lubricate door hinges and checks, and hood
hinges. Lubricate door and hood locks and latches.
Lubricate door rubber weatherstrips.
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.
