Ford Maintenance Schedule

Every new Ford of Canada 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 Customer Information Guide (formerly the Owner Information 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 service department to determine the specific maintenance schedule that will best match your requirements.

Your Ford of Canada Dealer's service department is the best place to go for regularly scheduled maintenance. The service technicians undergo exhaustive factory training and, as a result, are intimately familiar with your vehicle. They also use factory approved parts that have been performance tested to ensure maximum durability.

Genuine Maintenance Schedule

Your vehicle has a maintenance schedule that's designed to give it what's needed when it's needed. The services listed in the maintenance schedule are required to help ensure the proper operation, safety and performance of your vehicle. Failing to perform scheduled maintenance as specified by Ford of Canada may invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of maintenance. Select your vehicle from the Maintenance Schedule tool to view or print the service inspections for your vehicle.
