[BK00300(ALL)01/95]

The required Scheduled Maintenance Services

listed in this booklet are considered essential to

the proper operation, safety and performance of

your Ford Motor Company vehicle. We

recommend that you also perform the Owner

Maintenance Checks listed. These services are

matters of day-to-day care that are also

important to the proper operation of your

vehicle. The recommended lubricants, fluids and

service parts conforming to Ford Specifications

are available from your dealer.

[BK00350(ALL)01/95]

This booklet gives you a place to record the

services that are performed on your vehicle so

that you can keep a record of when parts should

be checked or replaced. Give your Maintenance

Schedule and Record booklet to the dealer service

manager.

[BK01300(ALL)01/95]

To assure the durability of your vehicle and its

emission control systems, it is necessary that

scheduled maintenance be performed at the

designated intervals.

[BK01400(ALL)05/95]

Ford strongly recommends the use of genuine

Ford replacement parts. If other than Ford or

Motorcraft parts or Ford authorized

remanufactured parts are used for maintenance

replacements or for the service of components

affecting emission control, such non-Ford parts

should 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 booklet for complete warranty

information.

[BK01410(ALL)05/95]

No Cost PCV Valve Replacement

[BK01415(ALL)05/95]

THE PCV VALVE IS A CRITICAL EMISSION
