SERVICE RECOMMENDATIONS
Whenever possible, Ford has
designed parts that do not require
servicing. However, when servicing
is required, Ford’s goal is to make
servicing your vehicle as easy as
possible. To help you:
• We highlight do-it-yourself items
in the engine compartment for
easy location.
• Often, parts (such as the
headlamp bulbs) may be
replaced without tools.
• We provide you with a Service
Guide that makes tracking
routine service of your vehicle
easy.
If your vehicle requires
professional servicing, your
dealership can provide the
necessary parts and service. Check
the Warranty Guide to find out
which parts and services are
covered. Use only recommended
fuels, lubricants, fluids, and service
parts conforming to Ford
specifications. Motorcraft parts are
designed and built to provide the
best performance in your vehicle.
