fuel LINCOLN NAVIGATOR 2009 Scheduled Maintenance Guide

Determine which maintenance schedule to follow
It’s important to follow the maintenance schedule that most closely mirrors your driving habits and the
conditions under which you drive. For this reason, the Scheduled Maintenance Guide is divided into two basic
maintenance schedules: the
Normal Schedule(further segmented intoTrucks, Fullsize Vans & SUVsandCars & CUVs) andSpecial Operating Conditions
Determining which maintenance schedule is right for you is easy. For the most part, do you drive your
Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle under typical, everyday conditions? If so, follow theNormal Schedule Trucks,
Fullsize Vans & SUVs,orNormal Schedule Cars & CUVs.
Special Operating Conditions
However, if one or more of the Special Operating Conditions outlined below better describes how you
typically operate your vehicle, you will need to perform some maintenance services more often than the Normal
Schedule recommends.
•Towing a trailer or carrying heavy loads
•Extensive idling and/or driving at low-speeds for long distances
•Driving in dusty conditions
•Off-road operation
•Use of E85 fuel 50% of the time or greater (flex fuel vehicles only)
Important:For further details and information regarding these Special Operating Conditions see page 42.

❑Normal Schedule: 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever occurs first.❑Special Operating Conditions: 5,000 miles, 6 months, or 200 hours of engine operation, whichever occurs first
see appropriate schedule on page 42.
