Why Maintain Your Vehicle? 
This guide describes the scheduled maintenance required for your vehicle. 
Carefully following this schedule helps protect against major repair expenses resulting 
from neglect or inadequate maintenance and may also help to increase the 
value of your vehicle when you sell or trade it. 
It is your responsibility to see that all scheduled maintenance is performed and 
that the materials used meet Ford engineering specifications. Failure to perform 
scheduled maintenance specific in this guide will invalidate warranty coverage 
on parts affected by the lack of maintenance. Be sure receipts for completed 
maintenance are kept with the vehicle and confirmation of the work 
performed is always recorded in this guide. 
Your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer, or Ford or Lincoln Mercury Quality Care 
Center has factory trained technicians who can perform the required maintenance 
using genuine Ford parts. They are committed to meeting your service needs 
and to assuring your continuing satisfaction. 
Protecting Your Investment 
Maintenance is an investment that will pay dividends in the form of improved 
reliability, durability and resale value. To assure the proper performance of your 
vehicle and its emission control systems, it is imperative that scheduled 
maintenance be completed at the designated intervals. 
Ford strongly recommends the use of genuine Ford replacement parts. Parts other 
than Ford, Motorcraft or Ford authorized remanufactured parts that are used 
for maintenance replacement or for the service of components affecting emission 
control must be equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company parts in 
performance and durability. It is the owner’s responsibility to determine the 
equivalency of such parts. Please consult your Warranty Guide for complete warranty 
information.

Mercury dealership. From scheduled maintenance to more complicated repair 
work, nobody knows your car or truck better. Protect your investment by choosing

technicians. They’ll fix it right the first time. 
The right parts 
From headlights to taillights and everything in between, nothing fits like an 
original. With Quality Care service, you’ll get the parts made especially for your 
car or truck – genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts.

Which Maintenance Schedule Should You 
Follow? 
Normal Schedule 
The Normal Schedule applies to those who operate their vehicle under typical, 
everyday driving conditions. This maintenance frequency represented in this schedule 
typifies what the vast majority of vehicle operators will require. The listed 
services should be performed at specified mileage intervals. Items listed in italic 
type are additional services that only the noted vehicles require. 
Special Operating Conditions 
If you operate your Ford/Lincoln/Mercury primarily in one of the more 
demanding “Special Operating Conditions” listed below, you will need to 
have some items maintained more frequently, see page 37. If you only occasionally 
operate your vehicle under these conditions, it is not necessary to perform the 
additional maintenance. For specific recommendations, see your dealership service 
advisor or qualified service professional. 
These special operating conditions are:

Refer to Mileage Intervals for Additional 
Checks and Services 
Certain basic maintenance checks and inspections should be performed by the 
owner or a service technician at the intervals indicated. Service information and 
supporting specifications are provided in the Owner’s Guide. 
Any adverse condition should be brought to the attention of your dealer or

Normal Vehicle Axle Maintenance 
 Rear axles and power take off (PTO) units containing synthetic lubricant and light 
duty trucks equipped with Ford-design axles are lubricated for life. These 
lubricants are not to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is 
required or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle and 
PTO lubricant should be changed anytime the axle and PTO have been submerged 
in water. Non-synthetic rear axle lubricants should be replaced every 3,000 
miles or 3 months, whichever occurs first, during extended trailer tow operation 
above 21 Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit) ambient and wide open throttle 
for extended periods above 45 mph. The 3,000 mile lube change interval may 
be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic gear lubricant 
meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent. 
Add four ounces of additive friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A (EST-M2C118-A) 
or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles. The axle lubricant should 
be changed anytime an axle has been submerged in water.

Police and Taxi Vehicle Axle Maintenance 
 Replace rear axle lubricant every 160,000 km (100,000 miles). Rear axle 
lubricant change may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic 
gear lubricant meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number FITZ-19580-B 
or equivalent. Add four ounces of additive friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A 
(EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles. The 
axle lubricant should be changed anytime an axle has been submerged in 
water. 
450 and 550 Series Axle Maintenance 
 Replace rear axle lubricant every 100,000 miles under normal driving conditions 
on all 450 and 550 series applications. For 450 and 550 vehicles operated at or 
near maximum Gross Vehicle Weights, the rear axle lubricant should be 
replaced every 50,000 miles. In addition, this 50,000 mile schedule should be 
observed when the vehicles are operated under the Special Operating Conditions, 
where noted, beginning on page 37.

  • 4. Why Maintain Your Vehicle? This guide describes the scheduled maintenance required for your vehicle. Carefully following this schedule helps protect against major repair expenses resulting from neglect or inadequate maintenance and may also help to increase the value of your vehicle when you sell or trade it. It is your responsibility to see that all scheduled maintenance is performed and that the materials used meet Ford engineering specifications. Failure to perform scheduled maintenance specific in this guide will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of maintenance. Be sure receipts for completed maintenance are kept with the vehicle and confirmation of the work performed is always recorded in this guide. Your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer, or Ford or Lincoln Mercury Quality Care Center has factory trained technicians who can perform the required maintenance using genuine Ford parts. They are committed to meeting your service needs and to assuring your continuing satisfaction. Protecting Your Investment Maintenance is an investment that will pay dividends in the form of improved reliability, durability and resale value. To assure the proper performance of your vehicle and its emission control systems, it is imperative that scheduled maintenance be completed at the designated intervals. Ford strongly recommends the use of genuine Ford replacement parts. Parts other than Ford, Motorcraft or Ford authorized remanufactured parts that are used for maintenance replacement or for the service of components affecting emission control must be equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company parts in performance and durability. It is the owner’s responsibility to determine the equivalency of such parts. Please consult your Warranty Guide for complete warranty information.

  • 5. Quality Care — One stop for all your maintenance needs When you need maintenance for your Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle, there’s only one name to remember: Quality Care, available at your Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealership. From scheduled maintenance to more complicated repair work, nobody knows your car or truck better. Protect your investment by choosing Quality Care service.

They’ll fix it right the first time. The right parts From headlights to taillights and everything in between, nothing fits like an original. With Quality Care service, you’ll get the parts made especially for your car or truck – genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts. The right prices Our commitment to quality extends to pricing as well as service. Your Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealership offers competitive prices on Genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts and services, making Quality Care a great value.

  • 6. Which Maintenance Schedule Should You Follow? Normal Schedule The Normal Schedule applies to those who operate their vehicle under typical, everyday driving conditions. This maintenance frequency represented in this schedule typifies what the vast majority of vehicle operators will require. The listed services should be performed at specified mileage intervals. Items listed in italic type are additional services that only the noted vehicles require. Special Operating Conditions If you operate your Ford/Lincoln/Mercury primarily in one of the more demanding “Special Operating Conditions” listed below, you will need to have some items maintained more frequently, see page 37. If you only occasionally operate your vehicle under these conditions, it is not necessary to perform the additional maintenance. For specific recommendations, see your dealership service advisor or qualified service professional. These special operating conditions are: General Maintenance Information 6 General Maintenance Information 2003 Universal Service Guide (usg) Universal Service Guide USA English (fus)
