does not nullify the emission warranty

completion of your vehicle's useful
life. Ford Motor Company, however,
urges you to have all recommended
maintenance services performed at
the specified intervals and to record
all vehicle service. Hot climate oil change intervals
:
Vehicles operating in the Middle East,
North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa or
locations with similar climates using
