Protecting your investment

Maintenance is an investment that will pay dividends in the form of
improved reliability, durability and resale value. To maintain the proper
performance of your vehicle and its emission control systems, it is imperative
that scheduled maintenance be completed at the designated intervals.

Your vehicle is equipped with a message center which displays a message
at the proper oil change service interval; the interval is one year or
10000 miles (16000 kilometers) under normal driving conditions. When
ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE NEXT SERVICE or OIL CHANGE REQUIRED
appears in the message center display, it’s time for an oil change; the oil
change must be done within two weeks or 500 miles (800 kilometers) of
the ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE NEXT SERVICE or OIL CHANGE
REQUIRED message appearing. The oil minder system must be reset after
each oil change; refer to the Instrument Cluster chapter.

If your message center is prematurely reset or becomes inoperative, you
should perform the oil change interval at six months or 5000 miles
(8000 kilometers) from your last oil change.

Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built with multiple complex
performance systems. Every manufacturer develops these systems using
different specifications and performance features. That’s why it’s important
to rely upon your dealership to properly diagnose and repair your vehicle.

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 information.

Ford strongly recommends the using only genuine Ford, Motorcraft

௡ or

Ford-authorized remanufactured replacement for parts because they are
engineered for your vehicle.
