If your vehicle requires professional service, your authorized dealer can
provide the necessary parts and service. Check your Warranty Guide to
find out which parts and services are covered.
Use only recommended fuels, lubricants, fluids and service parts
conforming to specifications. Motorcraft

PRECAUTIONS WHEN SERVICING YOUR VEHICLE

all fuel related parts.

before working under the vehicle, jacking or placing any object
under the vehicle. Never place your hand between the extended
