PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE RISING
COST OF VEHICLE REPAIRS WITH A
LINCOLN EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN.
SERVICE PLANS (U.S. Only)
Lincoln owners have discovered the powerful
protection of Lincoln Extended Service Plan.
It is the only extended service plan backed
by Lincoln Motor Company, and provides
peace of mind protection beyond the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage.
Lincoln ESP Can Quickly Pay for Itself
One service bill – the cost of parts and labor
– can easily exceed the price of your Lincoln
Extended Service Plan. With Lincoln ESP, you
minimize your risk for unexpected repair bills
and rising repair costs.
Up to 1000+ Covered Vehicle
Components
There are four Extended Service Plans with
different levels of coverage. Ask your
authorized dealer for details.
1. PremiumCARE - Our most
comprehensive coverage. With over 1000
covered components, this plan is so
complete that we generally only discuss
what’ s not covered. 2.
ExtraCARE - Covers 113 components, and
includes many high-tech items.
3. BaseCARE - Covers 84 components.
4. PowertrainCARE - Covers 29 critical components.
Lincoln Extended Service Plan is honored by
all authorized Lincoln and Ford dealers in the
U.S. and Canada. It is the only extended
service plan authorized and backed by
Lincoln Motor Company.
That means you get:
• Reliable, quality service at any Lincoln or
Ford dealership.
• Repairs performed by factory trained
technicians, using genuine parts.
Rental Car Reimbursement
1st day Rental Benefit
You take advantage of replacement
transportation if your vehicle is at your
authorized dealer for same day covered
repairs.
Extended Rental Benefits
If your vehicle is kept overnight for covered
repairs, you are eligible for rental car
coverage, including bumper to bumper
warranty repairs, and Field Service Actions. Roadside Assistance
Exclusive 24/7 roadside assistance, including:
•
Towing, flat-tire change and battery jump
starts.
• Out of fuel and lock-out assistance.
• Travel expense reimbursement for
lodging, meals and rental car.
• Destination assistance for taxi, shuttle,
rental car coverage and emergency
transportation.
Transferable Coverage
If you sell your vehicle before your Lincoln
Extended Service Plan coverage expires, you
can transfer any remaining coverage to the
new owner. Whenever you sell your vehicle,
prospective buyers may have a higher degree
of confidence that vehicle was properly
maintained with Lincoln ESP, thereby
improving resale value.

California Fuel Filter Replacement
If you register your vehicle in California, the
California Air Resources Board has
determined that the failure to perform this
maintenance item does not nullify the
emission warranty or limit recall liability
before the 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

Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa or locations with
similar climates using an American
Petroleum Institute (API) Certified for
Gasoline Engines (Certification mark) oil of
SM or SN quality, the normal oil change
interval is 3000 mi (4,800 km).

available, then the oil change interval is
1800 mi (2,900 km)
. Engine Air Filter and Cabin Air Filter
