fluids at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a viable
way to change fluid for many vehicle

new fluid that is the same as that required
to fill and operate the system or using a
Ford-approved flushing chemical.

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.

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.
