Be sure to ask your dealership service
advisor or technician about the multi-point
vehicle inspection. It is a comprehensive way
to perform a thorough inspection of your
vehicle. Your checklist gives you immediate
feedback on the overall condition of your
vehicle. NORMAL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™
Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent
Oil-Life Monitor that determines when you
should change the engine oil based on how
your vehicle is used. By using several
important factors in its calculations, the
monitor helps reduce the cost of owning your
vehicle and reduces environmental waste at
the same time.This means you do not have to remember to
change the oil on a mileage-based schedule.
Your vehicle lets you know when an oil
change is due by displaying a message in
the information display.
The following table provides examples of
vehicle use and its impact on oil change
intervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oil
change intervals depend on several factors
and generally decrease with severity of use.

Exceptions
There are several exceptions to the Normal
Schedule: Axle and PTU maintenance
: The Power
Transfer Unit (PTU) and rear axle (AWD only)
in your vehicle does not require any normal
scheduled maintenance. Taurus SHO
vehicles are electronically monitored and
notify the driver required by service by
displaying a message in the information
display. The PTU lubricant will be more likely
to require a fluid change if the vehicle has
extended periods of extreme or severe duty cycle driving. Changing or checking the PTU
lubricant is not necessary unless the unit has
been submerged in water, shows sign of
leakage or (Taurus SHO only) a message
indicating required service is displayed.
Contact your authorized dealer for service.
