Get the most from your vehicle with routine maintenance.
Routine maintenance is the best way to help ensure you get the performance, dependability, long life and
resale value you expect from your vehicle. This is exactly why we’ve put together the Scheduled Maintenance
Guide; basically, it outlines what service your vehicle may require and when. The focus is on maintaining
your vehicle while it’s running great, which goes a long way toward preventing major repairs and expenses later.
Here are a few suggestions to help you get started on the road to routine maintenance:
--Familiarize yourself with your vehicle by going through your ЉOwner’s GuideЉ
--Take a few minutes to review this handy Scheduled Maintenance Guide
--Make it a habit to use this guide to record scheduled maintenance

Protect your warranty!
Routine maintenance is not only the best way to help keep your vehicle running great, it’s also the best way to
protect your warranty. While maintenance and repair services may be performed by you or by any
automotive service provider you choose, it is your responsibility to see that all scheduled maintenance is
performed and that the materials used meet Ford Engineering specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
specified in this guide will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of maintenance. We
can’t stress enough how important it is to keep records of all maintenance. This guide will help you do just that.
While Ford Motor Company will not deny a warranty claim simply because there is no documentation,
damage or failures due to a lack of proper maintenance or neglect are not covered under
warranty.
Keeping maintenance records is easy with the Scheduled Maintenance
Guide.
It’s important to document the maintenance of your vehicle. Every time you bring your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance, be sure to present this guide and certify the work. Also record the date of service, mileage
at the time of service, and attach your receipt. Not only will this make record keeping easy, but also should your
vehicle ever require warranty coverage, you will have all the documentation to show you’ve properly
maintained it.
Maintenance Interval
Ford Motor Company has recommended maintenance intervals for various parts and component systems
based upon engineering testing. Ford Motor Company relies upon this testing to determine the most appropriate
mileage for replacement of oils and fluids to protect your vehicle at the lowest overall cost to you and
recommends against maintenance schedules that deviate from the Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
