Every new Ford vehicle comes with a detailed maintenance schedule that has been carefully designed to help keep your car or light-duty truck operating at peak efficiency.
This maintenance schedule is set out in your Owner's Guide, along with other handy tips such as managing cold starts, maintaining correct tire pressures, checking fluid levels and helping to keep your vehicle looking like new.
There is some variability within your vehicle's maintenance schedule; these variations are designed to reflect different driving conditions and driving styles.
Check with your Douglas Ford service advisor to determine the specific maintenance schedule that will best match your needs.
