This is exactly why we’ve put together the Scheduled Maintenance Guide. It outlines the services required to properly maintain your vehicle and when they should be performed. 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. Ford Motor Company will not deny a warranty claim simply because there is no documentation. However, damage or failures due to neglect or a lack of proper maintenance 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. This will make record keeping easy and, 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 establishes recommended maintenance intervals based upon engineering testing to determine the most appropriate mileage to perform the various maintenance services. This protects your vehicle at the lowest overall cost to you. Ford Motor Company recommends that you not deviate from the maintenance schedules presented in this Scheduled Maintenance Guide. 4 Scheduled Maintenance 2009 Scheduled Maintenance Guide (smg) Scheduled Maintenance Guide USA (fus) GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION see appropriate schedule on page 42. Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant ❑ 6 years or 105,000 miles - change Premium Gold coolant (whichever comes first) ❑ After initial change - change Premium Gold coolant every 3 years or 45,000 miles (see page 48) Determine which maintenance schedule to follow It’s important to follow the maintenance schedule that most closely mirrors your driving habits and the conditions under which you drive. 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 42. Scheduled Maintenance 5 2009 Scheduled Maintenance Guide (smg) Scheduled Maintenance Guide USA (fus) General Owner’s Information Maximum Oil Change Interval ❑ Normal Schedule: 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever occurs first. ❑ Special Operating Conditions: 5,000 miles, 6 months, or 200 hours of engine operation, whichever occurs first GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION Exceptions Some exceptions for specific vehicles and special applications are outlined below. In addition, you will find further information under Exceptions on page 47. • Engine oil and Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant - time and mileage based interval If you’re unsure which maintenance schedule to follow, ask your Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealership, or visit the Maintenance area of www.genuineservice.com. Oils, Fluids and Flushing In many cases, fluid discoloration is a normal operating characteristic and, by itself, does not necessarily indicate a concern or that the fluid needs to be changed. However, discolored fluids that also show signs of overheating and/or foreign material contamination should be inspected immediately by a qualified expert such as the factory-trained technicians at your Ford or Lincoln Mercury Dealership. Your vehicle’s oils and fluids should be changed at the specified intervals or in conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a viable way to change fluid for many vehicle sub-systems during scheduled maintenance. It is critical that systems are flushed only with new fluid that is the same as that required to fill and operate the system, or using a Ford-approved flushing chemical. Chemicals and Additives Non-Ford approved chemicals or additives are not required for factory recommended maintenance. In fact, Ford Motor Company recommends against the use of such additive products unless specifically recommended by Ford for a particular application. 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 on your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership to properly diagnose and repair your vehicle. When planning your maintenance services, consider your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership for all your vehicle’s needs. Get the most from your service and maintenance visits There are a lot of reasons why visiting your Ford or Lincoln Mercury Dealership for all your service needs is a great way to help keep your vehicle running great. 6 Scheduled Maintenance 2009 Scheduled Maintenance Guide (smg) Scheduled Maintenance Guide USA (fus) GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION Many Dealerships have extended evening and Saturday hours to make your service visit more convenient.

They are listed below: Normal Vehicle Axle Maintenance ❑ Rear axles and power take off (PTO) units containing synthetic lubricant and light duty trucks equipped with Ford-design axles are lubricated for life. These lubricants are not to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle and PTO lubricant should be changed anytime the axle and PTO have been submerged in water. During extended trailer tow operation above 70°F ambient and wide open throttle for extended periods above 45 mph, non-synthetic rear axle lubricants should be replaced every 3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever occurs first. The 3,000 mile lube change interval may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic gear lubricant meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A (EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles (see Owner’s Guide for quantity). The axle lubricant should be changed anytime an axle has been submerged in water. Police/Taxi/Livery Vehicle Axle Maintenance ❑ Replace rear axle lubricant every 100,000 miles. Rear axle lubricant change may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic gear lubricant meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number FITZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add four ounces of additive friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A (EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles. The axle lubricant should be changed anytime the axle has been submerged in water. E–450 and F–450/550 Axle Maintenance ❑ Replace rear axle lubricant every 100,000 miles under normal driving conditions on all E–450 and F–450/550 applications. For E–450 and F–450/550 vehicles operated at or near maximum Gross Vehicle Weights, the rear axle lubricant should be replaced every 50,000 miles. In addition, this 50,000 mile schedule should be observed when the vehicles are operated under the Special Operating Conditions, where noted, on page 42.
