GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

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 ″Owner’s Guide″

--Take a few minutes to review this handy Scheduled Maintenance Guide --Make it a habit to use this guide to record scheduled maintenance --Consider your Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealership for all your vehicle’s needs

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.
