Capacities and Specifications

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, a qualified expert,
such as the factory-trained
technicians at your dealership, should
inspect discolored fluids that also
show signs of overheating or foreign
material contamination immediately.Make sure to change your vehicle’s
oils and fluids 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.
Owner Checks and Services
Make sure you perform the following
basic maintenance checks and
inspections every month or at
six-month intervals.
Check every month
Engine oil level.
Function of all interior and exterior lights.
Tires (including spare) for wear and proper pressure. Windshield washer fluid level.
Check every six months
Battery connections. Clean if necessary.
Body and door drain holes for obstructions. Clean if necessary. Cooling system fluid level and coolant strength.
Door weatherstrips for wear. Lubricate if necessary.
Hinges, latches and outside locks for proper operation. Lubricate if necessary. Parking brake for proper operation.

Scheduled Maintenance

Multi-Point inspection
Windshield for cracks, chips or pits

Be sure to ask your dealership service
advisor or technician about the
multi-point vehicle inspection. It is a
comprehensive way to perform a
thorough inspection of your vehicle.
Your checklist gives you immediate
feedback on the overall condition of
your vehicle.
NORMAL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor®
Your vehicle is equipped with an
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor that
determines when you should change
the engine oil based on how your
vehicle is used. By using several
important factors in its calculations,
the monitor helps reduce the cost of
owning your vehicle and reduces
environmental waste at the same
time. This means you do not have to
remember to change the oil on a
mileage-based schedule. Your vehicle
lets you know when an oil change is
due by displaying ENGINE OIL
CHANGE DUE
or OIL CHANGE
REQUIRED in the information display.
The following table provides
examples of vehicle use and its
impact on oil change intervals. It is a
guideline only. Actual oil change
intervals depend on several factors
and generally decrease with severity
of use.

Inspect the wheels and related components for abnormal noise, wear, loose-
ness or drag.
* Do not exceed one year or 10000 miles (16000 kilometers) between service
