Maintenance: An investment
An investment which will pay dividends in the
form of improved reliability, durability, and
resale value.
To assure the durability of your vehicle and its
emission control systems, it is necessary that
scheduled maintenance be performed at the
designated intervals.
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.
