GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION The required scheduled maintenance services listed in this guide are considered essential to the proper operation, safety, and performance of your Ford Motor Company vehicle. We recommend that you also perform the Owner Maintenance Checks listed. These services are matters of day-to-day care that are also important to the proper operation of your vehicle. The recommended lubricants, fluids, and service parts conforming to Ford Specifications are available from your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer. This guide gives you a place to record the services that are performed on your vehicle so that you can keep a record of when parts should be checked or replaced. Give your Service Guide to your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury service manager. Maintenance: An investment Maintenance is an investment that will pay dividends in the form of improved reliability, durability, and resale value. To assure the durability of your vehicle and its emission control systems, it is necessary that scheduled maintenance be performed at the designated intervals. Ford strongly recommends the use of genuine Ford replacement parts. If other than Ford or Motorcraft parts or Ford authorized remanufactured parts are used for maintenance replacement or for the service of components affecting emission control, the non-Ford parts should be equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company parts in performance and durability. It is the owner's responsibility to determine the equivalency of such parts. Please consult your Warranty Guide for complete warranty information. NO COST PCV VALVE REPLACEMENT The PCV valve is a critical emission component. Your dealer will replace the valve at no cost at 60,000 miles (96,000 kilometers), except in Canada and California. 4
