GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Why maintain your vehicle?
Carefully following this schedule helps protect against major repair
expenses resulting from neglect or inadequate maintenance and may also
help to increase the value of your vehicle when you sell or trade it.
It is your responsibility to see that all scheduled maintenance is
performed and that the materials used meet Ford engineering
specifications as identified in theMaintenance and Specifications
chapter. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance specific in this guide
will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of
maintenance. Be sure receipts for completed maintenance are kept with
the vehicle and confirmation of the work performed is always recorded in
this guide.
Your dealer has factory-trained technicians who can perform the required
maintenance using genuine Ford parts. They are committed to meeting
your service needs and to assuring your continuing satisfaction.
Protecting your investment
Maintenance is an investment that will pay dividends in the form of
improved reliability, durability and resale value. To maintain the proper
performance of your vehicle and its emission control systems, it is
imperative that scheduled maintenance be completed at the designated
intervals.
Your vehicle is equipped with a message center which displays a message
at the proper oil change service interval; the interval is one year or
10,000 miles (16,000 km) under normal driving conditions. When
ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE NEXT SERVICE or OIL CHANGE
REQUIRED appears in the message center display, it’s time for an oil
change; the oil change must be done within two weeks or 500 miles
(800 km) of the ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE NEXT SERVICE or OIL
CHANGE REQUIRED message appearing. The oil minder system must be
reset after each oil change; refer to theInstrument Clusterchapter.
If your message center is prematurely reset or becomes inoperative, you
should perform the oil change interval at six months or 5,000 miles
(8,000 km) from your last oil change.
