GENERAL MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
Why Maintain Your Vehicle?
Carefully following the maintenance
schedule helps protect against major
repair expenses resulting from neglect
or inadequate maintenance and may
help to increase the value of your
vehicle when you sell or trade it. Keep
all receipts for completed
maintenance with your vehicle.
We have established regular
maintenance intervals for your vehicle
based upon rigorous testing. It is
important that you have your vehicle
serviced at the proper times. These
intervals serve two purposes; one is
to maintain the reliability of your
vehicle and the second is to keep your
cost of owning your vehicle down.
It is your responsibility to have all
scheduled maintenance performed
and to make sure that the materials
used meet the specifications
identified in this owner's manual. See
Capacities and Specifications
(page 329).
Failure to perform scheduled
maintenance invalidates warranty
coverage on parts affected by the lack
of maintenance.
Why Maintain Your Vehicle at
Your Dealership?
Factory-Trained Technicians
Service technicians participate in
extensive factory-sponsored
certification training to help them
become experts on the operation of
your vehicle. Ask your dealership
about the training and certification
their technicians have received.
Genuine Ford and Motorcraft®
Replacement Parts
Dealerships stock Ford, Motorcraft
and Ford-authorized branded
re-manufactured replacement parts.
These parts meet or exceed our
specifications. Parts installed at your
dealership carry a nationwide
12-month or 12000-mile (20000
kilometer) parts and labor limited
warranty.
If you do not use Ford authorized parts
they may not meet our specifications
and depending on the part, it could
affect emissions compliance.
Convenience
Many dealerships have extended
evening and Saturday hours to make
your service visit more convenient and
they offer one stop shopping. They
can perform any services that are
required on your vehicle, from general
maintenance to collision repairs.
Note:
Not all dealers have extended
hours or body shops. Please contact
your dealer for details.
