service) of components effecting the emission control, the owner should
be ensured that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be
equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company Parts in performance and
durability. Please consult your warranty information booklet for complete
warranty information.

Authorized dealer maintenance

Your authorized dealer specializes in knowing all about Ford Motor
Company vehicles rather than knowing a little about all makes.
There are Ford or Ford of Canada dealer service shops ready to serve
you wherever you drive in the U.S. or Canada. They stock Ford and
Motorcraft parts, and Ford Chemicals and lubricants. You can be
confident that these meet the same exacting design and quality
standards as those used to build the vehicle originally. Dealer service
technicians have available training in the latest product developments
and service techniques.

Oils, Fluids and Flushing

In many cases, fluid discoloration is a normal operating characteristic of
the chemical compound and in itself does not demonstrate that a fluid
needs to be changed. Oils and Fluids identified in the scheduled
maintenance information should be changed at the specified interval
or in conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a viable way to change fluid
for many vehicle sub-systems during scheduled maintenance and should
only be done using the same fluid required to finish the maintenance
procedure, or a Ford approved flushing chemical.

OWNER MAINTENANCE

You can do much of the maintenance your vehicle requires yourself, if
you have the time and a reasonable amount of mechanical ability. If you
prefer to have this work done professionally, your authorized dealer
stands ready to help you.
All mechanical components and attachments are important in that they
could affect the performance of vital components and systems. If
replacement becomes necessary, they must be replaced with parts having
the same part number or with equivalent parts. Torque values of the
attaching parts must be used as specified during any reassembly
procedure to ensure proper retention.

FACTORY AUTHORIZED SYSTEMS CHECKS

In the event that your vehicle experiences a component related concern,
please contact your Ford dealership. The Ford Motor Company Trained
Technicians who work at Ford dealerships are specifically trained to
understand your vehicle.
