Scheduled Maintenance

Genuine Ford and Motorcraft®

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Replacement Parts

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.

If you do not use Ford authorized parts they

may not meet our specifications and

depending on the part, it could affect

emissions compliance.

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.

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.

Note: Not all dealers have extended hours

or body shops. Please contact your dealer

for details.

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

Specifications (page 269).

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

Your vehicle is equipped with the

Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor system, which

displays a message in the information

display at the proper oil change interval.

This interval may be up to one year or

10000 miles (16000 kilometers).

Never exceed one year or 10000 miles

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

That is why it is important to rely upon your

dealership to properly diagnose and repair

your vehicle.

Make sure to change your vehicle’s 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
