Replacement Parts  
GENERAL MAINTENANCE  
INFORMATION  
Dealerships stock Ford, Motorcraft and  
Ford-authorized branded re-manufactured  
replacement parts. These parts meet or  
exceed our specifications. Parts installed  
at your dealership carry a nationwide  
24-month or unlimited mile (kilometer)  
parts and labor limited warranty.  
Why Maintain Your Vehicle?  
Carefully following the maintenance  
schedule helps protect against major repair  
expenses resulting from neglect or  
inadequate maintenance and may help to  
increase the value of your vehicle when  
you sell or trade it. Keep all receipts for  
completed maintenance with your vehicle.  
If you do not use Ford authorized parts they  
may not meet our specifications and  
depending on the part, it could affect  
emissions compliance.  
We have established regular maintenance  
intervals for your vehicle based upon  
rigorous testing. It is important that you  
have your vehicle serviced at the proper  
times. These intervals serve two purposes;  
one is to maintain the reliability of your  
vehicle and the second is to keep your cost  
of owning your vehicle down.  
Convenience  
Many dealerships have extended evening  
and Saturday hours to make your service  
visit more convenient and they offer one  
stop shopping. They can perform any  
services that are required on your vehicle,  
from general maintenance to collision  
repairs.  
It is your responsibility to have all  
scheduled maintenance performed and to  
make sure that the materials used meet  
the specifications identified in this owner's  
manual. See Capacities and  
Note: Not all dealers have extended hours  
or body shops. Please contact your dealer  
for details.  
Specifications (page 241).  
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance  
invalidates warranty coverage on parts  
affected by the lack of maintenance.  
Protecting Your Investment  
Maintenance is an investment that pays  
dividends in the form of improved  
reliability, durability and resale value. To  
maintain the proper performance of your  
vehicle and its emission control systems,  
make sure you have scheduled

Dealership?

maintenance performed at the designated  
intervals.  
Service technicians participate in extensive  
factory-sponsored certification training to  
help them become experts on the  
operation of your vehicle. Ask your  
dealership about the training and  
certification their technicians have  
received.  
Your vehicle is equipped with an  
information display which displays a  
message at the proper oil change service  
interval; the interval is one year or 10000  
miles (16000 kilometers) under normal  
driving conditions.

Additives and Chemicals  
This owner's manual and the Ford  
Workshop Manual list the recommended  
additives and chemicals for your vehicle.  
We do not recommend using chemicals or  
additives not approved by us as part of  
your vehicles normal maintenance. Please  
consult your warranty information.  
Indicator Reset (page 183).  
If your information display resets  
prematurely or becomes inoperative, you  
should perform the oil change interval at  
six months or 5000 miles (8000  
kilometers) from your last oil change.  
Never exceed one year or 10000 miles  
(16000 kilometers) between oil change  
intervals.  
Oils, Fluids and Flushing  
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a  
normal operating characteristic and, by  
itself, does not necessarily indicate a  
concern or that the fluid needs to be  
changed. However, a qualified expert, such  
as the factory-trained technicians at your  
dealership, should inspect discolored fluids  
that also show signs of overheating or  
foreign material contamination  
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built  
with multiple, complex, performance  
systems. Every manufacturer develops  
these systems using different  
specifications and performance features.  
That is why it is important to rely upon your  
dealership to properly diagnose and repair  
your vehicle.  
immediately.  
Make sure to change your vehicles oils and  
fluids at the specified intervals or in  
conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a  
viable way to change fluid for many vehicle  
sub-systems during scheduled  
maintenance. It is critical that systems are  
flushed only with new fluid that is the same  
as that required to fill and operate the  
system or using a Ford-approved flushing  
chemical.  
Ford Motor Company has recommended  
maintenance intervals for various parts  
and component systems based upon  
engineering testing. Ford Motor Company  
relies upon this testing to determine the  
most appropriate mileage for replacement  
of oils and fluids to protect your vehicle at  
the lowest overall cost to you and  
recommends against maintenance  
schedules that deviate from the scheduled  
maintenance information.  
Owner Checks and Services  
Make sure you perform the following basic  
maintenance checks and inspections every  
month or at six-month intervals.

way to perform a thorough inspection of  
your vehicle. Your checklist gives you  
immediate feedback on the overall  
condition of your vehicle.  
MAINTENANCE  
Your vehicle is equipped with an oil minder  
system that indicates when the engine oil  
should be changed under normal operating  
conditions.  
This means you do not have to remember  
to change the oil on a mileage-based  
schedule; the vehicle lets you know when  
an oil change is due by displaying ENGINE  
OIL CHANGE DUE or OIL CHANGE  
REQUIRED in the information display.

Hot Climate Oil Change Intervals  
If the available API SM or SN oils are not  
available, then the oil change interval is  
1800 miles (3000 kilometers).  
Vehicles operating in the Middle East,  
North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa or  
locations with similar climates using an  
American Petroleum Institute (API)  
Certified for Gasoline Engines (Certification  
mark) oil of SM or SN quality, the normal  
oil change interval is 3000 miles (5000  
kilometers).  
Engine Air Filter and Cabin Air Filter  
Replacement  
The life of the engine air filter and cabin air  
filter is dependent on exposure to dusty  
and dirty conditions. Vehicles operated in  
these conditions require frequent  
inspection and replacement of the engine  
air filter and cabin air filter.
