Maintenance And Care - Ford Mystique Owner's Manual

Service Made Easy
Ford has two goals for servicing your vehicle.
When we can, we design parts that do not need to be
1.
serviced.
We want to make servicing your vehicle as easy as possible.
2.
To help you:
We highlight do-it-yourself items in yellow in the engine
compartment so that you can find them easily.
When possible, we design parts that can be replaced without
tools.
We give you a Maintenance Schedule that makes tracking
routine service for your vehicle easy. The maintenance
schedule is located in the Maintenance Schedule booklet.
This chapter tells you about the basic parts that you need to
check and service regularly.
If your vehicle needs professional servicing, your dealership can
provide the parts and service required. Check your Warranty
Information Booklet to find out which parts and services are
covered. Also see the Customer Assistance chapter of this Owner
Guide.
Ford Motor Company recommends that the Owner Maintenance
Checks listed in the Maintenance Schedule booklet be performed
for the proper operation of your vehicle. In addition to the
conditions listed in the Owner Maintenance Checklist, be alert for
any unusual noise, vibration, or other indication that your
vehicle may need service. If you do notice something unusual,
see that your vehicle is serviced promptly.
Use only recommended fuels, lubricants, fluids, and service
parts conforming to Ford specifications. Motorcraft parts are
designed and built to provide the best performance in your
vehicle. Using these parts for replacement is your assurance that
Ford-built quality stays in your vehicle.
