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 the Maintenance 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 ensure 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 the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ (IOLM)

system which displays a message in the message center at the proper oil

change service interval; this interval may be up to one year or

10,000 miles (16,000 km). When ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE 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 or OIL CHANGE

REQUIRED message appearing. The Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ must

be reset after each oil change; refer to the Instrument Cluster chapter.

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.
