General maintenance information
GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
This Service Guide indicates the scheduled maintenance required for
your vehicle. Proper maintenance guards against major repair expenses
resulting from neglect or inadequate maintenance, and may help increase
the value you receive when you sell or trade your vehicle.
It is your responsibility to make sure that all of the scheduled
maintenance is performed and that the materials used meet Ford
engineering specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance, as
specified in the Service Guide, will invalidate warranty coverage on parts
affected by the lack of maintenance. Make sure that receipts for
completed maintenance work are retained with the vehicle and
confirmation of maintenance work is always entered in your Service
Guide.
Your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealership, or Ford or Lincoln-Mercury
Auto Care service center, has factory-trained technicians who can
perform the required maintenance using genuine Ford parts. The
dealership looks forward to meeting your every service need to maximize
your satisfaction with your vehicle.
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 “Warranty Guide” 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.

Follow the Normal Schedule for most normal everyday driving
conditions.
Severe Duty Schedule
Follow the Severe Duty Schedule if your driving habits FREQUENTLY
include any of the following conditions:
❑ Driving at top speeds for long distances during hot conditions.
❑ Short trips in areas of high humidity or freezing conditions.
❑ Towing and/or carrying heavy loads.

Normal schedule
Items for Emission Control Service are shown in italics.
Wheel lug nuts must be retightened to proper torque specifications at
800 km (500 miles) of new vehicle operation. See your dealer for proper
torque specifications. Also retighten to proper torque specifications at
800 km (500 miles) after (1) any wheel change or (2) any other time the
wheel lug nuts have been replaced.
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 assembly has been submerged in water. The
axle lubricant should be changed anytime the axle has been submerged
in water.
Non-synthetic rear axle lubricants should be replaced every 3,000 miles
or 3 months, whichever occurs first, during extended trailer tow
operation above 21 Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit) ambient and wide
open throttle for extended periods above 45 mph. The 3,000 mile lube
change interval may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140
synthetic gear lubricant meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192–A, part
number F1TZ-19580–B or equivalent. Add four ounces of additive
friction modifier C8AZ-19B546–A (EST-M2C118–A) or equivalent for
complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles. The rear axles 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 assembly has been submerged
in water. The axle lubricant should be changed anytime the axle has
been submerged in water.
Police and Taxi Vehicles:
Replace rear axle lubricant every 160,000 km (100,000 miles). Rear axle
lubricant change may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140
synthetic gear lubricant meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192–A, part
number F1TZ-19580–B or equivalent. Add four ounces of additive
friction modifier C8AZ-19B546–A (EST-M2C118–A) or equivalent for

Severe duty schedule
Items for Emission Control Service are shown in italics.
The Severe Duty Schedule provides maintenance intervals for replacing
your air cleaner filter if you drive in severe dust conditions. However, the
conditions you drive in may require even more frequent air cleaner
replacement intervals than those shown. Check with your dealer.
Extremely dusty conditions will require more frequent replacement of
your air filter. Check your air filter at 5,000 km (3,000 miles). If it is
dirty, replace it and then keep replacing it at the same interval (every
5,000 km [3,000 miles]). If it is not dirty, check it again at 10,000 km
(6,000 miles) and again at 15,000 km (9,000 miles) until you determine
your unique maintenance interval. Do not go beyond 50,000 km (30,000
miles) as described in the chart. If in doubt, see your dealer.
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.
Wheel lug nuts must be retightened to proper torque specifications at
800 km (500 miles) of new vehicle operation. See your dealer for proper
torque specifications. Also retighten to proper torque specifications at
800 km (500 miles) after (1) any wheel change or (2) any other time the
wheel lug nuts have been loosened.
Non-synthetic rear axle lubricants should be replaced every 5,000 km
(3,000 miles) or 3 months, whichever comes first, during extended trailer
tow operation above 21°C (70°F) ambient and wide open throttle for
extended periods above 72 km/h (45 mph). The 5,000 km (3,000 mile)
lube change interval may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140
synthetic gear lubricant meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part
number F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add four ounces of additive friction
modifier C8AZ-19B546-A (EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete
refill of Traction-Lokt rear axles. The axle lubricant should be changed
any time the axle has been submerged in water.
Rear axles containing synthetic lubricant are lubricated for life. These

❑ Notice if your vehicle constantly turns slightly or “pulls” to one side
when traveling on smooth, level road.
❑ When stopping, listen and check for strange sounds pulling to one
