GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
The required scheduled maintenance services listed in this guide 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 Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
This guide 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 ªService Guideº to your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury service manager.
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 ªWarranty Information Bookletº 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.

WHAT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE SHOULD YOU FOLLOW?
Normal schedule
Follow the Normal schedule for most everyday driving conditions.
Severe duty schedule
Follow the Severe Duty Schedule if your driving habits frequently include one or more of the following conditions:
Towing a trailer or carrying a heavy load.
Operating in severe dust conditions.
Extensive idling, such as police, taxi or door-to-door delivery service.
Off-road operation.
Short trips of less than 16 km (10 miles) when outside temperatures remain below 18°C (0°F).
Idling the engine for extended periods will accumulate more hours of use on your vehicle than is actually indicated by the odometer. Consequently, the odometer reading can often be misleading when determining the right time to change you engine oil and filter.
If you are using your Ford vehicle in a manner which allows it to remain stationary while the engine is running for long periods (door-to-door delivery, taxi, police, power/utility company trucks or similar duty), then

General maintenance information
Ford recommends you increase the frequency of oil and filter changes to an interval equivalent to 200 engine hours of use. Since most vehicles are not equipped with hourmeters, it may be necessary for you to approximate your idle time and plan oil/filter changes accordingly.

Normal schedule
Items for Emission Control Service are shown in italics.

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 has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed anytime the axle has been submerged in water.
Light and heavy duty truck rear axles filled with non-synthetic rear axle lubricant must be changed every 160,000 km (100,000 miles), otherwise, the lubricant is not checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service required or the axle has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed anytime the axle has been submerged in water.
Light duty trucks equipped with Ford design front axles are lubricated for life. These lubricants are not to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service required or the axle has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed anytime the axle has been submerged in water.
