For this reason, the Scheduled Maintenance Guide is divided into two basic maintenance schedules: the Normal Schedule (further segmented into Trucks, Fullsize Vans & SUVs and Cars & CUVs) and Special 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 the Normal Schedule Trucks, Fullsize Vans & SUVs, or Normal 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 41.
