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
3
General maintenance information
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 Information 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 96,000
kilometers (60,000 miles), except in Canada and
California.
